euro a threat to gold, page-14

Further food for thought. My girlfriend works on the middle desk of the Structured and Exotics Credit Desk for RBS here in London. She went to a talk that was organised to brief the staff on the current situation and basically the word was "keep your money out of everything, cash is king, there is a lot more pain to come"

I think the current story is that everything is a sea of red, there is so much negativity everywhere, that even a little ray of hope is going to be seen as the savior of everything. Wait until the pessimism sets in.
