In the past, platinum has been stronger and has been priced above gold in bull markets. Not this time.

My personal view is that there is a possibility that metals topped in 2011 on the 30 year anniversary. The next top would be 20 years from now with the vertical phase starting just a bit earlier.

Also, TPTB (powers that be) have to pressure the labor market to keep interest rates down so as not to create a huge inflation. They will sacrifice the middle class and anything else that impedes this directive.

So, it looks like more of the same for another 15 years before the markets force the pols to liquify the system. They will drag their feet until forced. It's going to be brutal.

Also, this election cycle is a 20 year danger for the elected President. Go back 20 years to the 1800s and see what I mean. GWB was spared, which leads me to believe some of these dynasties may be hundreds of years, or more, in the making. Maybe the Bush clan is responsible for the cycle???
