Not really. It's a wild card, but POG will continue
skyrocketing in this Fed low rates/bailout climate, which
so far is converging to a large scale debt monetization. If the
buck crumbles to 40 under all this (definitely a possibility,
with "sticky" current account deficit), folks will seek safety in
something other than the treasuries. Only a destruction of the
Ponzi economy will promote manufacturing, and there is a lot
of destruction still ahead, I'm afraid. The other side of
the mess is saving the Ponzi economy through monetization.
Gold will be going far above 10K then, but the clownbuck won't
be worth much at all. -g-

Wouldn't gold just need to back M1 (demand deposits, reserves, and currency)? M2 - M1 consists of retail MMFs and sweep accounts, which consist of commercial paper, call money, and ST treasuries. In other words, M2 - M1 is just liquid debt.
