hi SP - in my defence your honour, i did use the words, "just about everything", meaning not everything

but you also have a point where other commodities have surged on prices and can explain their equity runs

my other take is that when gold is let loose from it's shackles, real intending producers and producers should do handsomely - and, imo, even the dogs will be barking for a stint - i mean, doesn't the market work on fear and greed?

the gate, path and door references are my melodramatic way of saying that fiat, historically, once again is losing it's grip
