I've been thinking about the zero gold gains versus euro & yen

but very soon we should see increased currency volatility
I have called this the "hotpotato effect"
Europeans dont want a sharply higher euro currency
they will attempt to buy dollars en masse
as they do so, the dollar will come back suddenly
and lose it right back fast
as US fed deficits and US trade gaps become huuuuggge

currency traders might thus get whipsawed
and eventually say "screw it", and buy gold

the Japanese are facing a very dire situation
their yen has risen to the point that their profit margins are eroding to nil
I am reading of Chinese internal bankruptcies
and trying to gather more information
I expect Asia to experience Depression first

the gold buying might come from several factors
currency turmoil is my favorite reason
undermining of world banking reserves held in USTBonds is my second reason

in about 6-12 months, the US Fed might begin to gain traction in promoting price inflation
they must win against deflation, a real war
if US becomes Japanized, then the world goes dark

the victory by the US Guttenberg Dollar Printing Press will seal the deal for gold
as inflation returns
which kills the US Treasury Bond market
the presentday ultimate safe haven

Rosey Dear, this gold war is gonna be a marathon
by 2007 it will be victory lane by a mile, or kilometer
all the pieces are in place for an Inflationary Depression
