Bail out money and current deficit situation in US as well fed banks diversifying outside of treasuries are fundamental towards inflation going higher. Not a matter of if but when. Weak US dollar and rising treasury yield also will help toward this. These are all factors in favor of gold prices moving higher. For every 1% gold price moving higher gold equities tend to move 3-7% higher due to their leverage and inventories. Gold could push 1500/oz over the next 12-18months.
