Excellent point Fitz..... That's exactly what I've been saying here. Thank you!  So in other words, when the economy sucks, as it did under Carter and does under Oblahblah, gold soars. So should Romney win, gold will go down. That must be because under Romney the economy will flourish as it did under Reagan!! As far as I'm concerned, let's get rid of the Great Deceiver and liar, put Romney into office, and get millions of the 23 mil unemployed back to work. Thanks for that article! Even though I've stated that many times here, it's brilliant nonetheless!

Rallies in the metal has been most striking under democratic presidents – when gold set a record in 1980 of $850 (some $2,400 in today's dollars) it was under Jimmy Carter and of course Barack Obama was in the White House when gold hit a record above $1,900 last year.
