Makes sense until you get to this -

Citigroup, which had the smarts to avoid the moves that led other banks into trouble...

Perhaps not?

Citigroup took more than $13.2 billion in charges, bringing the total amount of write-offs and credit losses since the credit crisis began last year to more than $64 billion.

>>Another interesting area is platinum: the price is down 60% from the $2,300 level earlier this year. Demand is growing and supplies are constrained. The market was clobbered by a big selloff by a platinum ETF.<<

What is he referring to here? Got symbol?

S&P,

per your post Roulston maintains the US will recover but not be so preeminent... (nothing new here)..

He says gold will rise per USD weakness... so the US will recover with a lower dollar ?

If his gold prediction is USD based .. does it really matter to the rest of the world that may not be tied down to the USD.. ?
