good point
if the fed have it under control as they seem to then US is okay and gold will fade eventually although a falling $US is good for commods including gold for awhile at least
what if inflation stays high and they need to jack rates up
what if oil takes off a la 1980
are we in that period pre 1980 or post 1980
all muddled in my head but i agree it is unusual
