“this is a classic set up–even long term goldbugs were seen jumping out of windows-sentiment-valuation-wise–this could be an historic day even if gold is only up $25–I think there will be persistence now…”

With all the hoopla on CNBC about “how record lows for oil, gasoline, and gold and silver etc, and the mass media financial wizard pros, are all predicting…

Remember “Peak Oil” baloney? The book Twilight in the Desert? The “Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy” Hardcover
“veteran oil industry analyst Matthew Simmons draws on his three-plus decades of insider experience” bla bla bla. Same thing late 1970s. Oil went $2 to $42 and predictions of $100 were common.
