He and I are on the same page. Just wait until other central banks pile into gold and folks figure out there is no recovery and jobs aren't coming back. I had read in 2008, can't find it now, that CEO's have planned to ship another 25% of our jobs overseas.

Here's a link to article. CEO sees gold at $2,000/oz by end of 2010 INTERVIEW-US Gold CEO sees gold price soaring 12.22.09, 10:05 AM ET United States - * CEO sees gold at $2,000/oz by end of 2010 * Could rise to $5,000 in 2012-2014 * Price driven by supply shortage, weak dollar NEW YORK, (Reuters) - A gold supply shortage and governments printing money will likely drive up the gold price to $2,000 per ounce by the end of next year and above $5,000 between 2012 and 2014, a gold mining executive said Tuesday. "Annual mine production is declining and costs are going up, so that means higher prices," Rob McEwen, chairman and chief executive officer of US Gold Corp , told Reuters in an interview. "By the end of 2010 I see the gold price at $2,000 and before the game's over at over $5,000." Asked when that might occur, McEwen said: "That will probably be in 2012 to '14, because of lack of supply and also gold is money, it's a currency. "It's only used as a currency in times of economic distress and we're at one of those points - one of three in the last 110 years." Toronto-based US Gold has land holdings in Nevada and Mexico where it is carrying out exploration and drilling. McEwen has extensive experience heading several gold mining companies over the last two decades. Asked if the economic situation would improve by 2012, he said: "I think our governments will be printing more money and our dollar will buy less." Gold, which set record highs over $1,200 in recent months, hit a seven-week low Tuesday at $1,087 per ounce in London, hurt by a firmer U.S. dollar.
