One thing China is very smart in buying GOLD and having established a GOLD EXCHANG market.  Lots of foresite therein. Gold really has no upper limitations in valueation at at any high lockin value.  Ten year ago calls were set that Gold breaks $500,000.00 per ounce and I concure fully on that point. If thieves can drive the price of a twobit coin to $370,000.00 $s, think of what GOLD a real tangable asset could really do to unlesh a dollar flurry!  Or perhaps thats exactly what Banks are affraid of. We shall soon see as the Banks are not doing right by the economics now and for a long time overdue to change the landscape. It was Gold that saved the Roman Empire in tact thru to the 3rd century.  History is calling out for GOLD.
