For whatever reason, if everyone or most everyone in the U.S or in the world who has purchased gold decided to have physical delivery or possession this week by the weekend of their gold they've purchased, would there be enough gold to deliver to everyone??

Dumb Comment. You pick an up day when the middle east is falling apart and gold spikes to pretend you have a prescient view of the world. Your gold play has worked out sooooo well. Well, it's pretty much matched the S&P500, Apple is up double and Baidu is up about 8x the return of gold. So, my investments have fared much better and frankly, most common Americans don't belong in gold. They get ripped off buying it and selling it in bullion, they may not have trading accounts to buy ETFs or miners, they don't understand the tax consequences (do you?), and we all know how herding works...when people like you start bragging about how smart you are...that's often the peak. @Jim, No Jim.

The gold rigging should continue for many years. Further thoughts:

The destruction of the dollar and it's place as the world's currency is inevitable. The only question is, Does it happen in 20092010 or will it take another 10 years. As the world waits to see when the inevitable will occur, there is simply no safer option than gold.. This is where we stand. Adjusted for inflation (which is the only way to value anything) Gold is nowhere near it's high of 1980, Not even half way there at $1050. I agree with the person above who said Gold will come down when the economy improves. If you believe things are goign to get better within the next few months or year then don't buy Gold..It's too expensive and there is no need to take a chance. However, if you are one of the very few people who understand that this current financial downturn has nothing to do with natural economic cycles but instead is part of a manipulative pattern by bankers to steal the worlds wealth, a pattern that repeats itself every 50 years or so, than you also know that it takes the economy about 10 years give or take to begin to recover. The past is the best indicator of the future and if the cycle continues to play out as it has many times in the past, there is every reason to believe ALL commodities.. Gold Silver, Oil, Food...will reach true all time inflation adjusted highs. Whenever I listen to Obama speak.. I run out and buy more Gold and Silver.
