I am holding on to my post 2008 forecast for gold reaching $3-5k per ounce by 2017 (and silver reaching $100) because the world’
s largest governments continue their plunge into default, and cannot afford to let interest rates normalize if they don’
t want to be forced into a rationalization.

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself. Subject opinion to coercion: whom will you make your inquisitors? Fallible men; men governed by bad passions, by private as well as public reasons. And why subject it to coercion? To produce uniformity. But is uniformity of opinion desirable?" –Jefferson, Notes on State of Virginia, 1787
