Again, today gold is out performing platinum - 1274 to 1264 at the moment. In thinking about this, and in noting that gold is "hard money" as compared to platinum, which is more an industrial metal, I think I am seeing that the world is expressing very deep concerns about the future of "soft", or fiat money.

If this is so, and the markets continue to behave this way, I believe the bell is tolling for financial financial system as we know it.
