You're not annoying anyone, Robert. I'm actually glad there is some disagreement. It's healthy. One should ALWAYS question one's assumptions. I'm glad you're questioning mine.

And I don't think it's too late. Psychology is key, and I think they are keeping most people fooled with their propaganda. This could really backfire, because when inflation accelerates again, we could see a major dislocation in the market - i.e. no gold available below, say $1200 very suddenly.
