Maybe short term gold can be successfully manipulated.

But I see so much more instability in the markets in the coming months, have read that there are substantial bond market losses that will have to be written down, and there's still the issue of possible hyperinflation both here and abroad. Oops, I mean the reality. I was just reading an article on consumer price inflation in China the other day...

I'd get more worried about the price of precious metals if someone could tell me a safer place to be. The only other place I see right now is oil. If inflation hits, even sitting on the sides with money isn't a good place to be.
