i reckon the exact opposite will happen.. in 1991 'flation was low and none of the 'flations really posed a mega problem(inflation was on the decline if i recall correctly) and the usd wasn't exactly trading near its lows against the other major currencies and getting savagely dumped on a daily basis.. it's different this time around me thinks. gold in '91 was trading around $350 and on the decline, well, it's the total opposite this time around. isnt it ?
