Thanks Grim -- this is an extremely well written, thought- provoking article! It helps explain for us why precious metals are soaring & rare metals likely antimony are increasing in value.

Gold is almost certainly to be a part of most future currencies if even to act as a supportive reserve. Hyperinflation is on its way & the next 6 months to few years could get ugly with social unrest, hunger etc - in many countries including the smug but complacent West. By the time most people wake up, it will be too late.
