Well, if the pattern persists and it should, gold should go to at least
$3500 before it peeks.
And sure beats the dollar for 98% of the time, as the dollar is a
straight horizontal line that never appreciates.
Gold in real dollars was $19 in 1914. So who is cooking the charts? In
fact when gold was the standard, from 1878 to 1914 or so gold prices
varied little, neither did the value of a buck.
Over lay that with oil and US federal debt. It gets real interesting.
The Dollar hasn't been backed by gold for a long time now. It's backing
is now faith and trust in Obama and the boys.
