Excellent observation, and it's happening in every field, not just finance. Clearly their intention was to transform the real world, such as we knew it or thought we knew it, into a Hollywood version where the scripts for everything from finance, including money, to science to education to medicine to politics to the military to religion, in other words a total brainwash, have been written and directed by establishment. And it's been going on quietly for a long time already. In every field, people who oppose this or who don't wish to promote it have been gotten rid of and replaced by others who adhere to the party line which in a nutshell is "Man is God and God resides in America".

> This year I was completely wrong in my assumption as to the strength of the US dollar. But gold is much higher than I could have hoped, and now it seems that gold is going higher in spite of the strength of the dollar.

Yes, I saw the dollar strengthening and felt it would impact on gold. It wasn't to be. Gold shares are certainly strong at the moment. There must be serious fears for further inflation.

> I have read that Buffet lost a lot of money in his bet against the dollar, so I am in good company. He should have bought gold instead.

I'm surprised he didn't -- but who really knows? Some years ago he took a big position in silver.
