"It seems like being short gold long term is as close you can get to an interest free loan."
Why don't you take a multi million dollar short on gold for the next 5 yrs, after all you think it is as close as you can get to an interest free loan!
I love it when the bears talk tough anti gold but don't take shorts, that's when you know they don't even believe their own views.
As I have said many times before, if gold going down is such a sure thing, why not short it?
