Those who think $500-$600 gold is coming, the question is, what is the catalyst?Commodities dropped 50%, stocks crashed 50%, the dollar soared, hedge funds are going bust left and right and yet the frigging thing keeps holding up.
Deflation is not necessarily bad because the evidence is mixed, it went down in japan during their deflation but it went up in the 30's as governments devalued their currencies to gold, so gold holders were happy(when they were allowed to have it)
Prior deflations were good for gold since the world was in the gold standard and that deflation necessarly meant gold was going up(gold and cash were essentialy the same thing)
