how about capitulation buying from investors like Roubini? he's an economist afterall. gotta be right. 
He may have suggested the QE route, but he did call the housing crash and subsequent problems. You can rely on him to understand the problem, just not offer a proper solution. That's beside the point, though. There are all kinds of calls for high prices in gold from various sources that people have grown to distrust. Is that intentional or a bid to maintain legitimacy? Does it matter?
yes, he did get the housing call right but i've always been severely disappointed in his solution for MORE fiscal stimulus.

thats a great article. and this is the real money backing thats supposed to fit into the new digital age?
Why wouldn't it fit?
even in 2011 they can't move gold around the world w/o all the listed problems and concerns in the article. how are nations supposed to perform balance of payments of gold from debtor to creditor nations on an ongoing basis if we go back to a gold std? it'd be crazy complicated and expensive. we need something digital/instantaneous. did someone say Bitcoin?
