RE: RE: great for gold - maybe notAgree, I think the next quarter should be good and hopefully a deal gets done while in a good environment. I also agree that the u.s. can't really raise rates for awhile. Really dont think they want to with the kind of debt they have. Who wants to pay more interest on such a huge debt level. The U.S. gets it................i find it odd that the Canadian govt which also has a higher than usual debt level wants to raise our rates needlessly at this time and ironically is talking about raising our rates (forewarning us they will) while complaining that our dollar is too strong - wont raising our rate prop up our buc vis a vis the u.s. ? Don't get y the cndn govt is doing that other than they like to see us suffer needlessly. In Cnda there seems to be no party worth my vote! glta!!
