[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 925455, member: 4381"]I guess you missed the latest press conference with the Fed Chairman where he claimed he couldn't explain the rise in Gold prices according to normal market analysis. The fact is that both Gold and Silver, but especially Gold, is kept very high on the market because of the misconception that a relative few, mostly paranoid and ignorant individuals, have that the world is coming to an end and that the only real item of value to hord savings with is gold. These folks are in for a real rude awakening when the economy storms back, which is going to be sooner than later, and gold prices collapse. All that being said, all market prices are singularly based on perception. The real difference between Clad coinage and silver is that you sure as heck can't pay your taxes in Silver, which gives the clad coinage and paper money REAL value that gold and silver can never have. If the government wants to strengthen the US Dollar, all they have to do is raise taxes and tarrifs. Ruben[/QUOTE]
