Lots of people including careless investors are periodically finding themselves waking up on the wrong side of the capitalist casino style economy, but goldbugs always find themselves waking up on the bright side because the intrinsic value of gold can only go up, specially at times when everybody else is getting poor including not only the Arabs and other traditional buyers of luxury items, like gold, but also those middle class gold addicted Chinese that were supouse to continuously grow in numbers and get richer and bring through that process the price of gold to the stratosphere.
Notwithstanding all this, gold is still about to spike to $1,400.00 on its rentless move from the West to the East.
