Making sure no one comes up with the upper hand. If Russia comes up on top, Putin cohorts say the actual winners of the Cold War is Russia. If Middle East gets the upper hand, Iran and fundamentalist of any stripe will fell emboldened and will complicate the existence of Israel If China comes on top, it will dictate the rules of the game. The only acceptable outcome for the US would be Europe (lol!) coming on top. But those pigmies can come on top of perhaps the Balkans. Russia cleverly bringing in the acceptable Europeans under its wings. It must be a very interesting times for diplomats these days. For Shiites, the worse the better. Sunites and Israelis in an alliance, praying the USD and the US stays on top

TJ, I am not following gold as I can not understand the reason of it's movements. Once it was an inflation indicator but not anymore - if by the old (15 to 20 years ago) indicators gold should be more than double - but it is not!! I think the CB's where able to eliminate this inflation barometer and now it is a mixture of inflation and free cash spending ability of the middle class on jewelry With an recession on the horizon after the Olympics I do not see a lot of sizzle in gold but I can be dead wrong What makes me wonder that even with the huge credit crisis gold barely moved in % points – so this is why I am skeptical on gold it should be well over $1,600 by the old standard of anticipated inflation and anticipated political turmoil. Just draw a 20 year chart of gold/ corn or gold / oil or gold /coal or gold / copper
