Agreed. And yet the Gold Bugs on this thread continue to yammer away and point to the dollar and the price of Gold, etc. Perhaps they should check into how much money is being managed in commodity pools/funds these days compared to just 2 years ago. There is no question that these Commodity Funds have played a large part in the oil markets of late, speculating on higher prices as they have with Corn, Wheat, and most recently Soybeans . . . and now Gold. Nothing new here.
