Well said Mike,
I can remember John Embry predicting $1000 gold by the end of the decade back in 2004 and thinking he was being overly optimistic when the greatest single day increase in the price of gold at the time was limited to the $7 range. Now we see $7 moves in mere minutes and although some of the most respected gold analysts are calling for $5,000 to $10,000 gold, many of us simply cannot grasp what that will look like.
Watching the trading action on ECU over the past few days is akin to watching a masterful illusionist perform his trade. You know it is an illusion, yet the performance is so convincing you sometimes question how it could be faked.
