    Gold has just surged again

    A new record. Something's up. Interesting times.

    Unemployment data probably didn't help:
    BBC News - UK unemployment increases to 2.51 million

    And so it begins.

        I've got an odd feeling the stock market is about to head South again in the next few days also (and I'm usually bullish).

          The predictions on the Greece bail out are in, and it's not favourable, unemployment in UK and USA is poor, yet the company profit data is good (esp in the UK centric FTSE 250), and there is good news on the return of dividends for many companies ... more volatility beckons. Sweet.

            Sterling down, gold hits a new record again today. Same old same <yawn>

            Interest rates to be kept low for the foreseeable future, inflation is not a concern (except to investors and savers).

            Looks like devaluation and inflation is the way to go. Mugabenomics.

                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  Looks like Gordon got out just in time.
