USAGOLD note:  He went to say that gold’s gains since the start of the year are likely to be sustained.  He says given the Fed’s opening of the “liquidity tap” will send the dollar into a “long-term depreciatory trend.”  We do not believe that a super-sovereign currency is likely any time soon, though crisis has a way of upending the current order – whatever the current order might be.
