I have Jim Rickard's in very high esteem. I find him extremely bright. That's why I am shocked about something he said in the interview, that I didn't like at all. He thinks gold in USD is not going to rise untill the end of 2013. So who will be right, Jim S., who today said that gold is taking off in 1979 style (a cool doubling) or Jim R.?

Earlier today I looked at the gold chart in Japanese yen. And it is indeed tremendously bullish. It finished a double bottom and is taking off. But then, anything expressed in Japanese yen is taking off these day's. That doesn't help us. Rickard's is always so well informed, so I am wondering what he knows, that we don't know.
