This is a hot gold topic I discovered and posted about in October of 2010 after catching the presentation that Shayne Mcguire gave at the fall LBMA meeting. See my October post here complete with links to a Financial Times vdeo interview with Mr. McGuire and a link to his LBMA power point: http://aucanary.blogspot.com/2010/10/pension-funds-and-flight-to-quality.html

For thousands of years Precious Metals (PM) such as Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag) have been utilized as real money for exchange, wealth store, and metric of value. While I am NOT an advocate of one single commodity backing our money (like a gold standard), I do believe that the price trend of PMs are the most important indicators of the value of fiat money, plus the crimes of corrupt banking corporations and governments that manipulate PM prices. The "Canary in the coal mine" is Gold - AuCanary.
