I liked your comments so much that I upgraded you to 5 stars as the folks here should. Yes, the international scene continues to get real messy, protests against governments in western Europe are destined to increase as the debt factor and expanding looting from the public are destined to get worse. The power seekers refuse to reform. I believe this is the real reason behind the increased demand for gold. Just in Germany the higher ups have recently granted themselves an 80% increase in salaries and the head man in France is totally out of control. And the Brussels brain trust, well, these guys are just interested in their jobs and express no moral responsibility to the people they should be representing.
Thanks again for the your insight.
