Regarding your first post, price of gold does not move in price much on it own, it is essentially is the benchmark. It is the amount of dollars it takes to buy it that is the prime mover of its price. The price of gold in Euro's is much less than the price in dollars, yet the credit expansion is world wide. Those who believe the price of gold will rise see the dollars' continuous descent due to the rapid expansion of the dollar supply. I see this taking the U.S. into a recession and/or accelerated inflation which will force other nations to debase their currency to maintain a comparative trade advantage, this means all scarce commodities (Gold, Platinum, diamonds, etc.) will rise in comparison.

Instead of insulting these authors, regardless of your view of them or their motives, stick to laying out your case.
