As Yogi Berra once said, "It's tough to make predictions; especially about the future."

I, too, think the bottom is in.

I think the next run-up in the metals will take us to $3500 gold. That increase is on its own merits and current worth. Even at $3500 gold is nowhere near a bubble IMO.

Following that I see the U.S. dollar (which has already been destroyed) formally losing its world reseve currency status with the introduction of a new worldwide financial system with partial gold backing once again and a set price of gold between $7000 - $12000 per troy ounce. Currency values will float relative to the set gold price. Their abundance (how many units are in circulation) will be controlled. Currency units in circulation will be published and monitored as opposed to being sovereign secrets.

This is where I believe TPTB are taking us. Whether they ever get there is a matter of opinion and speculation. IMO they may get it set up; but it will not stand. There is a set time limit allowed for humans to govern themselves. Life on this planet was not intended to be as it is, but was allowed to make a point of universal importance.

It has been thoroughly demonstrated that no human government has ever met the needs, wants, and desires of its citizens. No human government ever will. With that universal precedent having been set for all time, the one to whom such authority actually belongs can and will resume his rulership.
