This big picture is this. Gold reached those high levels b/c nobody was certain there would be a tomorrow if there was who would and would not be apart of it. Yes there will be inflation and yes rates will have to rise. 2 years ago that would have sent Gold to 2000. The market has moved on. For now all will be a party to it to we dont need to rush into GOLD. You can be sure when GREECE talks about going back to the Drachma Gold will rally once more. until then Gold will likely be one of the most range bound instruments to trade. supported by underlying value and demand for physical and capped by fears long passed while other markets start to normalize as CB's disengage from the market. I like zerohedge but i also like traderscheatsheet blog it cuts out the noise. - good luck
