Dear Ray..thank you so much for the below comments..you are the only one who explained it..you don't know how long I have been looking for an explanation.. thank you again..bobby ps. would you mind explaining why you think silver might be a better play than gold if you think that? also..would you mind discussing Rubin's policies..(don't think he is looking for votes :-) ) also do you think this is just a correction in dollar or a turn? also don't expect you to answer the above general questions but hope you do.. from Ray Hughes post: ". Decades of analysis has shown me that there are many inter-connected relationships between a commodity and geo-politics, world economies and societal concerns. Connections of gold to Nikkei and Japanese economy, just to name a few: 1) as a tradeable commodity gold will be bought by Japanese when its Yen price is in a rising trend. Because gold is priced in USD the preceeding means gold is bought when USD rises relative to yen and gold price does not drop so rapidly as to offset USD/Yen. The latter ratio will favor gold if Nikkei is declining because Japanese economy is declining. In short,gold becomes one of many currency hedges for the man in the street. However, for the pro trader USD, pure and simple, is the play."
