the only reason i think gold might surprise you and do VERY well over the L-T is that IMO, the world banks will move back to some type of quasi-gold standard after the coming debacle and they won't use silver cause they're ain't enough of it to go around in order to use it for reserve purposes. There has never been a period in HISTORY other than the last 30 years where NO currency had ties to gold... period. Obviously, here (the tight supply issue) i have also stated your case for why silver will do so much better than gold early on and possibly for some time, but.... IMO, in the end, the moves should equal out from the their respective bottoms, i think? but who cares as long as they go up though (BG) we should know the top in gold and silver when Argentina decides to de-dollarize and buy gold -NFG-

also, I wonder if the Chinese embassy bombing was not INTENTIONAL as one last ditch attempt at pushing investors into dollars and perhaps perhaps postponing the coming disaster that i see in the bond, dollar, and stock mkts. anytime in the past that international incidents have arisen.. investors tend to buy dollars... Trader Bob knows how the system works. wouldn't shock me if the entire Kosovo operation was originally started based on that purpose (propping up the dollar) If I recall correctly, at the time.. the dollar was on the edge then too... perhaps it is just all coincidence... but I'm sure Trader Bob and the rest of those G7 crooks think that way and have said they would do whatver is necessary... etc.
