Interesting, however, I think Goldman is intentionally under selling gold due to the they are more interested in setting a stage that best profits them.

I like stepping back and looking at the bigger picture of where Gold/Silver is going as it has to do with more than just the explorer, the miner or where it is mined from. To me these are very interesting times.

Goldman and the Fed share the same pillow and the same speech writer. The US Gov't has no idea what a tight monetory policy looks like and an increasing number of economists are seeing this 2010 dooldrum to run another 5 years which will only make things tougher. The only signs of recovery is what the US Gov't has forced to grow via the billions they've pumped into the country. California, Illinois, and now Texas have made the news as states with failing budgets and increasing economic troubles.

As the US and other countries continue to struggle with debt and debt related issues that will only be compounded by their monetory policies we will see a rise / fall of gold prices but my reading informs me that Gold will continue to rise and $2000/oz is just as possible.

If Gold wasn't on their hearts and minds why did the recent US health care bill include a law that anyone buying more than $600 worth of gold must report it at tax time?? The US in the past has forced the public to sell their gold and many think they are doing some legal hedging of their own.

I think Gold/Silver will only become more valuable as the world economies continue to struggle with their failing monetory policies and economies.
