Mad Hedge, I think this has very much a "toppy" feel.
If you look at the arguments for gold, there is no reason it should be going down. No reason it should go down in the foreseeable future. That is the stuff bubbles are made of - certainty.
Gold is going down. The federal government is doing all it can to inflate, but gold is going down. Down too much, the logic is destroyed and there may be panic selling. People paying $1000/oz for coins and certainty are not going to be happy at $700/oz.
