<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 696689, member: 3011&quot;]The Fed can keep rates at zero forever if they ignore the secondary effects on the currency.&nbsp; If China won&#039;t buy treasuries, the Fed will buy them.&nbsp; Gold generally rises when real interest rates are negative, or when there is social unrest, or when speculators decide to push the up button.&nbsp; It seems almost a certainty that the economy will undergo a serious deflation at some point in the future because it seems likely that a good part of the outstanding debt [public and private] will have to be defaulted on.&nbsp; The thing gold investors have to figure out is whether there will be serious inflation first.&nbsp; Right now that looks probable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
