"But to compare the current gold jump with the 1980 surge that ended the 1970s gold bull is absurd" I agree. I understand that in 1980 dollars, taking into account inflation, gold will need to rise to over $2000 to get the same bang for your buck. Maybe Slider will take into account what the $USD is really worth when he predicts the dollar as a trading vehicle. A 1913 dollar is only worth $0.04 cents today. Maybe some can begin to understand how the FED gets our hard earned money while Bush talks tax cuts. They get you coming and going. That is why I am a gold bug. Gold has intrinsic value that the GUV can never take away. Santi
