I suspect part of it is really USD weakness and "real" inflation. But since other currencies are Dollar-based and they are doing even worse... something is going on. Canuckabucks are down to 72 cents US.

Bank runs next?
I'm in Albuquerque with my father and his wife. She's not doing great, but the key is that she sleeps sitting up in front of the TV, and tends to be awake at night. Therefore, I hear the TV when I wake up (or get woken up) late at night. Last night I heard gold ads. It might have been a home shopping kind of thing, but it was all about gold investing. Perhaps there's some heavy advertising also helping.
