With the Government in Cyprus voting to repeal a onetime levy on bank deposits by order of the IMF and Eurozone, the Nation faces bankruptcy.  Citizens are ready to pull their money and run the banks for fear of losing everything. Little do they realize that the real value of money is not worth the paper that it is printed on?  Precious metals have lasted through out time. Gold is off USD$7.90 to 1605.90/USD$/OZ; Silver slips $0.55 $28.66USD/OZ after popping above $29. Oil up $0.24 to $92.75USD$/barrel. The Cyprus Banks remain closed and fear that a run on all European Banks could cause a collapse in confidence. The Canadian dollar holds steady around the 0.9750 (1.0250) level. The Euro looks like it is doomed but it seems every time we approach the 200 day moving average (1.2844/USD), there seems to be a spike as something positive is said to restore the shaky confidence. The truth will prevail.
