bx55gJust finished having dinner with some friends who are active in the market...subject turned over to the price of gold. Everyone was talking about the price of $1800.apx as of today and for the most part the the rise over the last 6 months or so from $1400.apx. The catalyst we agreed for this rise was mostly if not entirely about negative economic data..(Defaults, European debt, Job Data, unemployment, manufacturing output, U.S. debt ceiling..ect..)
Then someone mentioned, all this move up, close to $2000 and all due to economic news, Imagine a hint or slight hint of a confrontation, (not that we are war mongerers) example...tensions in the middle east, Iran relations with the west, North Korea, U.S. finds a new bad guy, or more violent public uprisings like Egypt, Libya, Syria and even in London and the U.K.
