Not at all. I expected the gold crash, and posted a warning. RSI got to 83. So, now that it crashed, all gold bears and haters predictably came out of hybernation. Look at 79 gold mania. The thing crashed 10-20% every 3 months. It's just normal for gold to crash -g- Long term gold is not done yet, far from it.

It's about monetary policy. Our Keynesian Fed will keep real interest rates negative as long as the economy sucks, which folks expect due to credit bubble popping. That makes treasuries a pretty bad investment. The fear peak of 2008 is unlikely to be exceeded, and re-emerging inflation will gradually drain your treasury account. Unless we get Keynesian screwup, the topic of this thread. Then T-bonds will simply crash. Gold, on the other hand, just loves negative real rates.
