the ceo of barrick ?? is throwing out the supply/demand equation? getting too bullish?? i think this happened in 1932, also ,then, the u.s. government came in and said it was illegal to own/hoard gold and u.s. citizens were given just so many days to turn in all of their gold hoard and receive the government fiat paper at $35 per ounce,or stand trial on felony charges if caught hoarding. history repeats itself over and over again. hoarding gold/silver is not good for the economy and that has been proven over and over in the past..the speculative fever was shut down in the grains the same way by peanut farmer president carter. it could happen any day now.
