[QUOTE="Juan Blanco, post: 1588891, member: 41665"]This is not a flame nor troll. Please keep it civil LOL I have long sought a detailed, precise account of events driving the Investor Death Spike in Gold, 1979. I've heard this &that - familiar glib excuses that never really explain anything. (You know: X event happens and MSNBC will say it's because of A, Barron's will say B, WSJ emphasizes C, etc. And you get the sense... they're just blind and feeling the elephant.) WHO actually bought Gold after Christmas 1979 through March 1980 and WHERE? Was it the new Revolutionary regime in Iran or their financial agents in London, dumping US Paper for Gold? The US Embassy was seized on 4 November 1979; what happened to billions in US assets held IN Iran thereafter? (Expat) Iranian Gold traders tell me the Gold Price moved[I] because the Soviets invaded Afghanistan [/I]- but Gold didn't go parabolic when ČSFR was invaded, or when Hungary was invaded, etc. (Gold didn't go parabolic when the US invaded Iraq or Afghanistan either.) What's the REAL Gold story here, late 1979? Thx [ATTACH]221136.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
