Yes, gold is the only real money, but higher interest rates will likely take the dollar higher, this means lower gold prices, just a hunch... GZ

Hear where you're coming from but think it fair to say that the market has shown that that logic is flawed. Bottom line is that as long as the Fed can print dollars out of thin air and use those dollars on the market to purchase dollars - the dollar has value. As screwed up as the mechanism seems, that's what happens. If in addition, the Fed uses those imaginary dollars and sells paper gold/silver on the market - gold/silver will go down in price. As long as the Fed and their bankers buddies continue to control market rules and regulations and their pre-eminance is not challenged by those in a position to do so (i.e. Congress) - then I don't see how its rationale to believe that anything will change. As disgusted as I get to observe what goes on - its foolish (and expensive) to ignore reality ... fwiw ...
