Terrorism is good for gold prices in a generic sense -- costly however, on the individual level.

A cynical and over simplified image perhaps, but with all the TV crap concerning near eastern terrorism, al Qaeda in Central America, WMDs smuggled across borders, and bullshit cinematographers like michael moore sturring up the masses, etc., it is small wonder that the near eastern islamist has become the generalized image of opposition to western progress -- particularly when there is mention of death and alleged violent demonstrations.

'Tis a far leap perhaps, but remember "irrational exuberance" is a door that swings both ways.

Positioning in gold during these chaiotic times is not the easiest thing to do wisely. :^)
