A mirror image would be doable.

The only way gold is going to fall is if interest rates in the USA rise really fast to seriously big numbers, government pay off all their debts and everything is rosy in the world again.

Not likely. More likely is the gold price doubling by end of next year.

Looks like gold took another giant leap forward today, hitting another record high. Any particular reason behind this, or just same old same (hyper inflation, currency debasement, low interest rates and printing)?

In the twilight years of the Roman Empire, soldiers would only work for gold, because the money went to tulip. Maybe we should do that here.

There is every change that that yon star in the orion belt will collapse into itself spurting out new gold deposits for all. Then what will you do? Invest in euros of course.

My brother was telling me how much his gold had gone up in price. Was impressed until he told me he had two whole ounces of the stuff he picked up when travelling

Saw a graph showing house prices in number of ounces - that was a shocker too!
