oh and another thing-
using Financial media to back up your point is useless and a waste of time. "could", "perhaps" and far off supposed projections are nothing but that. I laugh my head off at all the countless and useless financial media pieces that are constantly wrong.
Also, many of you have a flawed thinking that gold and silver can only go up higher because "things are bad". again thats a common misconception among the general public. Sorry but markets evolve and correlations break apart. But I dont expect a single one of you to grasp that because none of you work on a trading desk nor on a commodity desk.
Until one has exposure to world economies and day to day dealings with financial world markets then none of you have a leg to stand on and will not understand the dynamics of why china will NEVER EVER be a world super power.
I said a statement I believe in and see at work everyday and I dont need to prove anything or debate anything. It is my opinion and I will hold strong to it and again, there is no need for me to debate it or go on and on about it.
Furthermore, this is a forum about coin collecting, not a china forum. As I have said, the china (and even the culture for that matter) elite and wealthy have always had and continue to increase their appetite for precious metals.
