<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 685422, member: 3011&quot;]That&#039;s a great question and goldbugs rarely think about it very much and only see the rise in gold as inevitable.&nbsp; The answer to your question is deflation.&nbsp; There is a lot of debt in the economic system that may have to be liquidated if it cannot be rolled-over.&nbsp; In that case, there will be a tremendous demand for dollars since they are the only acceptable payment for the debt.&nbsp; This is the normal outcome at the end of many credit booms.&nbsp; Now many people believe that the Fed and US Treasury will print massive amounts of currency to enable every debtor to inflate away their liability.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But what if they don&#039;t?&nbsp; Then you will have massive asset liquidation sales to satisfy the debt obligations, including gold sales.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I&#039;m in the inflation camp, but constantly keeping an eye out for signs that the current credit bubble will end in deflation.&nbsp; Nobody can say for sure which way it will end -- but many people will tell you they can.&nbsp; Just keep doing what you are doing.&nbsp; You are asking the right questions. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
