Hi All. The SGE (Shanghai gold exchange) has reported a massive increase in gold withdrawals. This is citizens and Cos protecting their wealth by owning physical gold. The Chines gov has and still is encouraging its citizens to own physical gold. However, we in the west are shunning the shiny stuff to such and extent that it is not even on most folks radar. The shift away from USA $ and into gold is slowly, slowly happening with an ever increasing amount of trading done outside the petro dollar and the BRICS not using the $ for trade. Central banks in Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, India, and a multitude of other nations are stocking up on gold reserves and refusing USA debt. How much longer can the banks keep the lid on the POG? Not much longer is my bet. ATB Speedy
