Thanks for your analysis Hysteria!
It allows us to "zoom out" and look at the bigger picture, based on an historical precedent. As you mention, things might not happen exactly the same way this time, but at least a very strong comparison can be made.
More and more, I am hearing mention of the unknown effects of all this monetary inflation ONCE IT HITS; i.e., it has not hit yet, and that is what we need for gold, and hopefully soon after gold juniors, to take off.
Take care,
