MM do you remember the week of Sept 11 ? The U.S. bond market was closed entirely for three days. The U.S. stock market was closed entirely for four days, followed by the weekend of Sept 15-16. Ask Bambs what happened to US currency and gold in that time period, it might suprise you. No great calamity. None of Bambs' doomesday arguments are new, they're sinmply dusted off and thrown out here agin to justify buying gold. Gold is a commodity that trades by demand and supply. And it is not consumed. So if you have gold you can sell it when the price goes up, and millions of Asians and Indians do this regularly, adding back into the suppply when prices rise. So this obviously keeps a cap on really how high gold can go.
