U.S. Debt Limit To Be Raised For 18th Time In 20 Years - Gold Vulnerable Short Term But Real Record High Likely
Submitted by GoldCore on 10/11/2013 11:05 -0500The dangerous habit of politicians and governments continually ‘kicking the can down the road’ cannot go on indefinitely. Eventually, the ramifications of this profligacy will be clear to all.
Yet another increase in the debt ceiling and the increasingly parabolic nature of the rise in U.S. government debt will be very supportive of gold in the medium and long term.

Meet the New Boss. Same as the Old Boss.
Submitted by Tim Knight from Slope of Hope on 10/09/2013 18:07 -0500It was a pretty interesting day in the market, of course, since two Fed-related items were happening.
