The price of gold and silver is being manipulated so the banksters can get even more rich by printing more and more, devaluing the dollar and creating interest on loans. Currency is backed by nothing but air. The only true way for gold and silver to go up is when the US dollar finally collapses.
If the US dollar collapses then all dollar denominated prices will go up in true ways. Also the castles that the new rich thought to buy.
if the dollar collapses faster than the gold price rises then it will actually make gold cheaper. I wonder what those who link gold up with u.s. dollar down will say when both rise together. This is actually what we want. Gold up n u.s. dollar up.
