RE: potentialYou must have been born during the ICE AGE before there were economies both micro and macro! Gold is a form of currency and is finite in it's availabilty. What due diligence did you do? Are you a FOREX trader or a expert with a hedge fund company? Please give me your sources of information.
Simply put my friend, you are absolutely wrong. Some instituitions will sell gold holding to cover bad debt but the Arabs, Chinese and Russia will use gold as a hedge against inflation. I agree the markets will fall but what will people invest in? Gold and other precious metals of course.
