What history said...if you consider it?1980's, interest near 20%, what did gold, do? All time highs, $800 plus. Not opinion but "history". Gold does well in an interest enviroment, contrary to those who don't know history! Gold is up once again, and dollar is down. Does this support many of the views that have been stated here. No opinion in this post, just history and todays markets observations. glta jmv
