"The inflation we will have to endure to get out of this situation will cause a lot of chaos, but I think that’s where we are headed. But whether we have inflation or deflation, gold is going to be the currency of choice. So far we have not seen much of a setback in gold, even if gold went down to $1,700. But we have to recognize that the selling (of any physical gold) right now are those looking for liquidity, maybe to buy food, who knows?
But the bottom line is we are going to inflate the world out of this debt crisis. All of these central banks stand ready to create more money. So I expect this pull back in gold to be short-lived. Draghi is pushing so hard for money printing because he doesn’t want to see the Europe descend into utter turmoil. That’s why gold will stay strong."
