I think the message is being clearly received around the world regardless of any specific timing, especially in Greece and the Ukraine at the moment, where daily rioting has broken out over the state of their economies. Civil unrest will gradually permeate throughout Europe and the rest of the world as the unemployment situations and inflation comes home to roost. The media can spin the military conflicts in the Israeli and Indian districts as much as they want.....they are only part of the equation.....the cat has been let out of the bag.

People, worldwide, realize that their sovereign currencies are loosing purchasing power, of what little they have left as deflation has robbed their life savings. And when there are no jobs to be had and the line-ups at the unemployment office get steadily longer, people will grow into a angry hungry mob. Throw on top of that the ubiquitous lavish bailout packages the banking executives are receiving, this is surely enough to drive anyone too the brink of insanity, hence the rioting and uncertainty which is fuel to propel gold and silver higher.

The safe havens of the world to park one's wealth are far and few to choose from and are becoming smaller by the day. The facts well documented in history, when researched, has shown that life on this planet evolves in cycles and when times of war, economic strife, political and social upheaval rear their ugly heads, gold and silver has ALWAYS come out on top and this time will prove to be no different. Unfortunately, when they do, the world won't be the same and I fear will be an ungodly place to live, IMHO.
