I'm kind of thinking this war will be the end of gold's downturn this summer. I think this war has the potential to seriously exacerbate tensions between the U.S. and Russia, and impact the price of gold. I wonder if the world has been this close since the whacko American General, Dr. Strangelove, conducted air force exercises of the coast of Alaska during the Cuban missile crisis.
