Rate cut..... Fear is what will drive gold up or a better way to say it may be,fear is the prime motivator these days to drive gold up.......fear of losing ones money that is in other ventures, especially the stocks, the Dow......the shaky, what will it do next Dow....among a zillion other ventures that everyone and every player has their money in (Gold not being one of those ventures). Lower rates will encourage continued buying and investing in the norms,........ housing, securities, real estate...... everything but Gold.....when the opposite of lower rates starts in, talk of the R word, etc, etc,....deepening world crisis.......fear, fear, fear.... the more fear the more motivation to invest in Gold....pick your scenario or better yet create your own.......but fear is what will drive Gold up.......

Hutch, I fail to see your logic that a drop in short term interest rates will boost the value in the dollar. Maybe you can explain why Brazil raised their interest rates to 50% to support their currency or Canada raised their rates 1% to support their currency. Following your logic they should have lowered their rates. Stimulate growth through lower rates = stronger currency. Hasn't helped Japan so far.

Terry,
