never fear blacks. Gold will rise inexorably to its zenith over the years ahead beginning next year I believe. However, nothing lasts for ever. Eventually the world powers will get back on track and as a superior system of "barter" is created the gold price will ease. It will always have a solid value, however, it will peak. Exactly when? I wish I knew.I believe it may be four or five years away at least.Hence my ongoing long term buy sentiment.
