It amazes me how many people that are oblivious to the consequences of all the American debt. They just keep adding fuel to the fire with hopes that they come up with a solution.But I think they are in a trap with no way out. They are compelled to continue to ease, at least for the short term to avoid the civil unrest. I beleive the U.S. government also plays the market, they benefit directly when markets go up by showing on paper that their debt situation is lessened. The smart guys will keep buying gold because they know that in the end, this metal is mostly what the worlds wealth is based on( not to mention oil and a few other commodities that are becoming more important everyday). So, this should be good for gold and SLI.
