If we had another crisis tomorrow, and you had to do QE4 and QE5, how could you do that when you're already at $4 trillion? They might have to turn to the IMF or SDR or to Gold.

There's always enough gold, it's just a question of price.” PeopleTryingEnoughProblemSupportBalanceTomorrowGoldCrisisNonsense Author:James Rickards
