something has changed, when talk of tapering or less QE was mooted before, gold had a hit and dropped, now though as the talk of tapering continues the POG is into a bear market, and benefiting if that's not a clear sign that the corner has been turned and the collapse in bonds and equities is imminent, then I don't know what is. Thailand in recession, Indonesia on the ropes, Japan now suffering, and china down..... the wave all the stimulus has created has not petered out, its risen as the shore approaches and is about to crash.
