Paper gold inc contracts and physical available gold is out by a factor of 100. And thats suppose to be ultra conservative. If there is a 'run' . Can u imagine the craziness? Although you and wouldnt hear until it was too late. with a ' run' , i mean the opposite of a bank run. ie people running into gold not out. ps. I dont think they could afford that to happen. although i cannot imagine price crash. As that would want to make people pile in once it happens. best bet is to spike gold in a way that people cannot afford it. ie like India
