I have been around a long time andhave never seen gold or silver going DOWN when a major revolution is taking place in such a strategic country, like Egypt and may spread. Read Tyler Durden 01/28/11 article, one friggin guy controlling 1/10 of US gold contracts with a few million dollars, just really wrong. Imagine what the big banks are doing. I think they may call it fear control, probably backed by US government and Euro. I do not want to see the world collapse in economic kaos, that would do no one any good, even if you have a truck load of physical gold, someone would be trying to steal it, we would be living behind guarded walls, like in South Africa, not a life I want to be living. This is scary stuff, gold/silver should be up at least 10%, at least.
It is so funny to hear the US pushing for democracy in Afghanastan and Iraq, countries who have never been ruled by a democracy, ever, and the old dictators in Egypt, Qatar and Saudi, who suite the US's needs are just hunky dory.JMHO
