Germany just demanded there gold back from the US over 200 billion worth. Gee think they know something we
don't?
Germany, Europe’s financial leader and owner of the world’s second-largest gold stockpile, demanded the United States’ Federal Reserve return over $200billion dollars’ worth of gold reserves to the German central bank. This rush for commodities, gold and precious metals in particular, are an indicator of a global loss of confidence in American fiat money, even despite its status as the world reserve currency. Public figures such as Ron Paul have correctly stated that people naturally move towards commodities such as gold and silver when confidence in a currency is lost; and Germany is no exception. But why is this happening?

Wait till they find out we don't have it. The dollar is on life support folks. They need those guns out of our hands because they fear the repercussions when the dollar collapses.
I think we are in some kind of turning point. With the staged massacres the major push for our guns and Germany being the second country to demand their gold.

All this info is accurate. It includes the spin and ignores the implications (in my opinion), but it's accurate.

Sorry if this has already been addressed, i stopped reading at page two, but I don't understand something.
Germany wants it's gold back that the US has been "looking after" for them in event of an invasion which is a pretty far fetched idea now. How is that going to do anything to the US dollar? If my buddy gives me $3000 bucks to hold onto for him for while because I have an awesome safe, when he asks for it back I'm not going to be $3000 poorer, I'm going to have as much as I did the day before, just a little more storage room in the safe.
Much like Germany asking for some of it's gold back won't take anything away from the US coffers other than what ever they are charging for storing and protecting said gold. Of course if the US stole and spent all this gold already then the people in charge of storing and protecting it should be punished... but really, what are the odds of that?edit on 17-1-2013 by gman1972 because: (no reason given)

It's also a sign that germany no longer considers the US a safe place to store their gold. Wonder why that is.

I wonder if they are going to try and split from the Ero and start their own currency up again? Having their gold would give them the strong reserves they need.
They have been threading to split from the Euro for awhile since they say they are carrying the rest of the countries.

I have a question regarding the storage of gold from other countries. If a country deposits $400 Billion in our safes and that somehow amounts to (for example purposes only) 1000 bars of gold..... then gold prices soar 20% over time and the country wants to remove their gold, do they get their original 1000 bars back or the number of bars that equals the current troy oz value that they have requested?
Aside from storage fees, admin cost etc.... can the US make money on the withdrawal if the price has increased?
