Re the 80's price comparison. You didn't have anywhere near the population the world has now, and also now you have demand from the former communist countries. Like China, Russia, with their small populations, and the Chinese govt is pushing gold onto the public as an investment, with ads, as if their selling washing powder. Then you have countries, also not that big, like India and Brazil who previously were more or less 3rd world, but now have a workforce that wants it all, like us. And if the CFTC hearing, which has shown up to 99% of shorts were held by jpmorgan, changes anything, the skies the limit really. And then consider the sovereign debt problems the world over, gold/silver may become a logical safe haven, so the price could even get as high as $1300. And silver may sky rocket to $19. haha
