i can see Gold going to 5,000 and Silver going to 200 in '12.
i can also see the Rotchild Fambly effectively owning and controlling every ounce left in the ground on this entire planet and soon.
then, if you're them, you'd have to think about flooding the market massively.
or, more than likely, they're going to introduce the new international currency on a standard that wipes out any increases that weren't taken. they drain the currency, drain the PMs, drain the real estate......unreal.
add to this their obsession with 'food supplies' on top of guns.
1Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. 7Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 10Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 11Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
I am no expert on PM's. But, I doubt much purchasing of goods/services will be conducted with them, except in small groups of trusted friends and acquaintances. When the global currency is introduced, think you'd get more Ameros (or whatever called) if exchanging silver or gold, instead of FRN's.
