>>>I believe that a significant drop in the pog would be met with purchases that would eclipse from whenst it dropped.<<<

I wholeheartedly agree. To not agree would be to believe the bull market is done. Since we've already printed so many $$$ that we have run out of green ink and have to use the electronic variety, which is literally limitless, I vote for continued profligacy and a continuation of the gold bull. If it takes a pause so be it.
