$8000/oz Au suggests a SP of $52.92. I'm not holding my breath for that one

would not hold my breath either, however my grandfather who was an old CCF supporter from Saskatchewan was horrified when his house increased in value and I mockingly called him a millionaire. lol I believe he payed $8,000 for the house that today is well over a million. The issue is not the value of gold as an ounce of gold will always be just that an ounce of gold, the issue is what is the counterfeit fiat money that the globalists are churning out at an alarming and ever increasing rate be valued at compared to hard assetts such as Precious Metals
