GOLD IS NOT BECOMING MORE VALUABLEThe US gov't and Congress are running the biggest Ponzi scheme the world has ever seen. They are presently over $200 Trillion in debt with much of that in unfunded liabilities. It is so massive that in relation to Bernie Madoff his Ponzi scam will seem as if it was a non-entity. There is no saleable product produced by gov't for all the massive spending. Gov't's are net consumers of wealth - never net creators of it.They are very very rapidly reaching the point of no return. 50% of that debt is held by foreign governments. Soon these gov't's will only loan at higher interest rates or not at all. Then the US will be forced to balance their budgets (fed and state govt's). When that happens, due to massive spending cutbacks, there'll be massive layoffs of civil servants (the US Gov't is the country's largest employer), confiscation of privately held gold (so store your physical gold outside of the US) and other drastic actions. Until that happens, the gutless Congress will continue to inflate their currency. So the price of gold will have to go up. But be aware of this: GOLD IS NOT BECOMING MORE VALUABLE. The US dollar is becoming less valuable, so it takes more of them to buy that same oz of gold. An economic Armageddon is just around the corner.
