RE:5 Years!
I agree with you for the most part.
But as we are finding out, we haven't had "normal" times since 1913, when the Federal Reserve was created and the rest of the world adopted a similar model of central banking. Central banks and bankers have been the scourge of humanity since Jesus threw out the money changers.
Two of the most devastating wars in human history. A depression like never seen before. Billions killed and starved.
This is not normal, has not been for a long time.

To find out why another meltdown is inevitable.
That was 7 years ago, China has made many moves on the Grand Chessboard since then. It is now the world's largest producer AND importer of gold and they're getting it very cheap thanks to manipulation. China is encouraging its own, newly wealthy, to buy gold. China may have the status of world's reserve currency, fully backed by gold.
Central banks are also large buyers of physical gold.
China has set up the Asian Infrastructre and Investment Bank and countries like Australia, France, Germany, the UK and even Israel have come on board.
JP Morgan is now buying physical silver on the long side, cheap again, due to manipulation. They will pull the plug on manipulation when they choose. It may be slow and sure or come all at once.
I believe that late 2015 will be the time. I beleive that we gold believers will have our day in the sun.
My opinion, just look it up.
