Whatever happened to the bull market in gold?

Should a terrorist attack happen the gold price will blast through the resistance at $430
The risk of a major terrorist attack between now and the US elections on 2nd November is considerable, as such an event would assure a victory for the Republicans by a considerable margin.

Currency crisis means bull market for gold and silver prices

The Federal Reserve: Its origins, history and current strategy
Few perceive the truth about the Federal Reserve. Rare are those who know its origins. It is right in front of us, but our relative ignorance of economics and history is their protection.
Three phases of the gold price

Gold Wars: Military Conflicts, Gold and Currency Crises
Ferdinand Lips provides evidence that without a gold-backed currency we are destined to face crises and military conflicts throughout the world. The best proof of this is provided by the events of the 20th century and the dawning 21st century.

The Dollar-Titanic
It´s just like the Titanic in a way, except that this currency-cruiser is not really about to hit an iceberg. Instead, it has been set on a wrong course from the very beginning (meaning 1971) with the rudder structurally tethered so that the course cannot be changed.

Gold: Back to the Future?
