Well said...there is the possibility that a default on the Comex could make their prices meaningless. It could literally be the thing that makes everything "SNAP". Good luck trying to get through that door when it happens. Only the big money will be able to, and pay a premium for the privilege.

I remember when Paulson first came in - he said, "What if all of these assets are actually correlated together?" "What if gold and silver don't perform as expected?"

I remember hearing that back in late 2006 I think? And I thought, uh oh. I wonder if something wicked this way comes?

Now we know that the government wants to take out the safe haven status. If we're going to suffer, we're all going to suffer together.
