RE:RE:massivePOG doesn't exist in a vacuum. I was going to exclude gold jewelry from the effect of market uncertainty, and immediately realized that many other people around the world see gold as the ultimate safe haven, some reduced gold sales presently, might be caused by the hope of purchasing gold at previous and lower prices. (price resistance)
About twenty years ago it was generally recognized that gold investors benefited more from a gradual rise in POG as opposed to a highly volatile and uncertain market. One reason might be that investors have greater confidence in steady appreciation. Wild swings in price often will discourage investors who may wish to wait until the relationship between fiat and POG appears resolved.
