Else, E.C. will nver post here again as he will get stuck in an never ending loop of reading ours posts over and over wondering why he was not able to created such works of art :o) (and) - a shift in the balance of power a.k.a. he who holds golds... . Even Zeev Hed, who holds no physical gold, has expressed his opinion that Central Banks identified by GATA as being without their gold reserves either from a selling or situation that the physical gold has been removed from their vaults, on loan or lease, and now exist in form that those whom have the responsibility to return this physical to Central Banks cannot do so without a buying panic on the open markets. . Where has all that physical gold gone is really not important unless one can prove-up that a GATA type situation existed these past 5-10-20 years where the Suppy-Demand equation has resulted in a supply to always in a quick and easy manner satisfy the demand so that its price remained well under $290. . Zeev states that only a small fraction of Central Banks reserves would have been needed if the just prior asked about situation occured. If true, then gold's price should have returned under $290 these past weeks and months based on Central Banks to keep anything of real value out of the arena where money exist. . But lets see, we are told not to worry about a corrupted US dollar because the fiat currencies of other nations are more corrupted.
