What TPTB, within the marketplace, has done, is nothing short of remarkable, in the short term.

They have been able to restrict the increase in the price of gold, to approx. 20% for the last ten years.

They understood the problems of allowing gold to become the new reserve currency, and took ingenious steps (ETF's etc.) to limit the marketplaces enthusiasm in the metal, which would have probably thrown the world finances into complete turmoil.

Assuming the marketplace allows the price of gold to remain within the narrow parameters, we will see approx. $1,650.00 by end of this year, $2,000.00 by end of 2012,$2,370.00 by end of 2013, etc.

Don't forget, TPTB did not allow this to happen, the marketplace did.

How long can TPTB keep the increase to 20% or less?

Depends on how well they can keep the sheeple trained!

Good Luck to all!
