PS: the headline promises a "favorable outlook" for gold, but I don't see anything but bad news in the article. Or good news, I guess, if you agree with what I wrote above.

I've been wondering about the strength of short Treasuries also. I wonder if it's just that people need a place to park the proceeds from selling some other asset, and they have too much (over FDIC limit) to risk putting it into a bank that they are afraid could go under. So, with Treasuries at least you are sure you will get it back, whereas you can't necessarily say that for anything else out there.

As for the physical/paper thing, I still don't understand why it is a surprise that prices are higher at retail for small quantities than they are for wholesale purchases in bulk. Why do we need market manipulation conspiracy theories to explain it?

The bit about "all fiat money societies collapse" would be more convincing if there were a society with convertible currency that has been going for thousands of years. Maybe societies that don't adopt fiat money collapse even sooner, before they become noteworthy at all? It's a specious argument at best in my opinion.
