It will stop when another large country (possibly the us) defaults.  People are fairly blind to the major issue obama is causing with his spending...

as long as banks are allowed to print pieces of paper that represent gold and sell them into the market, the gold price is a bottomless pit

I've been enjoying this drop in price for gold/silver.
holding physical silver gives me butterflies in my stomach just like when I look at my bitcoin wallet
