GOLD - New High $4,800

Gold hit another new all-time high in price, now over $4,800 per ounce. What's driving the price higher? A reshaping of our geo-political world, in addition to the US debt which continues to climb, now at 38 trillion. The cost of servicing debt (which consists of making regular interest and principle payments on borrowed funds), is 1.2 trillion annually.
