    So, what is stopping the price of Gold rocketing skyward?

    Any ideas from you brainy investment types?

            It was begging for all those (excellent) comedy answers though.
            Just saying like.

            where there's chaos, there's cash !

            I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

            Lowering the tone since 1963

              Granted. However, anticipating said comedic interlude I did ask what was stopping the "price", not the actual Gold itself.

                I'm not a serious investment type but it seems to me -

                If widespread defaults occur (many countries) in some ways it will be less serious - the world has to keep turning and basic stuff needs to be traded (food etc), so perversely, the worse things get, the less point there is in holding gold - after all you can't eat it, and if no-one wants it or can afford to buy it because they are now spending all they have staying alive; it becomes irrelevant.

                I would have thought that food and commodity prices will be under more pressure.

                    Hey! "Do as I say, not as I do" isn't a bad tenet to live by.
