It was like a balloon ready to burst or a lid ready to pop off. Supply and demand was there but wasn't quite enough to overcome the governments tactics of keeping the price of gold low so the U S Dollar looked appealing.

Although they keep trying, the demand is too great and now gold has the upper hand. The biggest reason is, the same allies that had previously been supporting the dollar are now snubbing it and opting for gold instead.

Major economic countries like China and India are no longer interested in sinking their currency reserves into the dollar. They are looking at how the U S Government is managing it and running the other way. Although some other currencies are somewhat appealing, they always seem to fall back on gold.

Another major blow to the greenback is the fact that most major countries are now pushing to have oil denominated in something other than the dollar.

Those who have been investing in the shiny metal for some time now, are the real winners in this soon to be historic event. How historic? No one knows exactly how high the price of gold will rise but many analysts are predicting unprecedented levels in the range of $3000/oz to $4000oz.

Many gold bugs have been touting this price rise for several years. Some investors listened and some have not. But now is the time to lend an ear because one thing is for sure, the dollar can not survive once the gold price manipulation game is over. The results, investors win!
