Works for me. I wouldn't have noticed the header change if you hadn't mentioned it. But you are right, politics, money, gold and influence has always had a relationship. So it is OK to have a little golden discussion from time to time? Come to think of it, no one has commented on the imminent Dutch CB Gold sale lately. Not for a few years anyway. Maybe its all been sold?! (g) One thing seems certain since the election, the major trends in place will continue, and it has been good for gold so far. Debt and bubbles will surely keep ballooning, and the US will continue to flex her muscles. But out there, in the wilderness, one can hear voices crying out in alarm, saying "this can't go on forever". And some of these alarmists have credentials and credibility. And not all are Democrats.

Yes, politics certainly has a distinct relationship to gold prices. It looks like the manipulation of gold prices by central banks and hedging programs is finally being undone. Since inflation has been surfacing recently even in the CPI, I wonder how long it will take people to realize how much inflation there has been in real estate and many other things that were deleted from the CPI a few years ago(almost PURELY political, by both parties). I haven't done any TA on gold for a long time, but I suspect it would be quite interesting(maybe frightening) now...
