Hi VHF

I find your statement about Gold "decoupling' itself from the US$ to be very significant. This has to happen and it will (has started). I believe things will be getting very "freaky" soon. The Dow is about to confirm it's downtrend, the eastern Europeen banks seem to be holding on by a tread.

Don't know if anyone has really noticed how both metals have been trading very differently in the past month or so. They are now trading "by the book" which tells me their is little "intervention" left.

As I sidenote, I just wagered with our account manager, that Gold will have reached $1,200 and Silver $25 by March 31st. 2009.

I guess time will tell.
