Quote from morganist:

looking at this chart do you think that it is a good time to buy gold. not because the of the price but because of what it signifies. if gold is expensive it is because people expect inflation. if that threat is real then gold might be worth its price in gold even at the moment. also there is a slight fall at the moment is this the end or will it rise further.

I don't think anyone expects inflation. A dollar collapse is what's in the pipe.

Not quite. It depends who is doing the measuring and what they measure, and what they measure it against.

For example, when Argentina collapsed, the official rate of inflation was less than 1/2 of the unofficial rate.

In the case of the US, what other currencies will collapse with the dollar? Against those it won't even look like a collapse.

Short term, here, I think the dollar is going to bounce and squeeze the shorts. Nobody, but nobody thinks the dollar will go up, therefore it must, even if it doesn't deserve to. Once the squeeze runs its course, look out below.

Well you could not buy much with the official currency and the black markets preferred barter over the Argentinian dollar.

You also forget that US is printing unprecedented amounts of dollars in a very short period of time. There are also massive amounts Eurodollars.

Agreed. Deflation will never be allowed. The debts will see that inflation will prevail. Hence Gold is always the only perma bull market.
