as i know US holds the largest gold reserve in the world,
do you guys worry that US will sell a portion of their gold to pay off their debt, instead of printing money?
if they do so, gold price will face a sharp dip,
and will go back to 1300 price point,
here is where the gold's bubbles break.
same as greece, portugal and italy. us also like to use other people's money to bail themselves out.
greece has a significant amount of gold, italy is the top 5 gold reserve based on World Gold Council stats. but they hold to their gold, and kept selling treasury bond to bail themselves rather than selling off their gold. Y? if they sell out the gold, they'll lose everything.
recently few EU members are already requesting those country requiring bail-out to put their gold as collateral , but greece n italy refuse to and keep on selling their bonds. and greece bonds already hitting 135% yield!
