None of the problems which valued Gold so high have been solved....
Chinese Figures = Hmmmm. Yes, why would the Chinese ever report things are really crap? War In Syria = Yet to start. Before Gulf War 2 I remember the UN Clown in Charge securing peace and then not long after that Bang Bang Bang there goes Saddam. The US needs to oust Assad in order for a regime change to bring Syria into the Petro Dollar charade. The US is afloat because of Petro Dollars. Otherwise, who cares about Syria and (rebel) gassed children? The Fed = Taper / Diaper + Debt Ceiling theater. At some point, this is the powder keg with a very slow fuse. The Americans won't let the dollar go down. Polish Pension Nationalization = Chapter 1 in the Yo' later Eurozone Experience.
