You may well be right. as I understand the way gold prices are supposed to work is. oil goes up gold goes up. money value gets shakey or goes down gold goes up. currency value improves gold goes down. this has to be one of 2 things either the big players ( mega billionair banksters) are profit taking or the bubble has burst on PMs. world currencies are dropping every where particularly the euro, which I believe is toast any way, many countries are worse off then us economacly, this should drive the security of gold and there fore the price up, but it is dropping instead, if the trend continues the only explination is a bubble, if that is the case, its katy bar the door. just my .02
