Your whole argument has been that the US economy is 'going gangbusters' and getting stronger, whereas the truth is that - stock market bubble aside - GDP growth is anemic and inflation almost non-existent. Interest rates are at 0.5%.....the Fed has nothing with which to combat a recession. More QE / interest rate cuts from 0.5% towards zero will send gold soaring.
This is the true and actual state of play.
