The Mint is humming

Nigel Moffatt, Treasurer of the Perth Mint, breaks from his leash with some really bullish statements in an interview with The Australian newspaper:

He said he could see no end to the gold boom.

“If you’re in the US or Europe, what on earth are you going to put your money into?” he said. “You wouldn’t touch the equity market at this stage. Interest rates are low, and frankly precious metals are a hell of a good way to go. I can’t see anything around to stop it. Bit it won’t go northwards in a straight line because people will always be taking profits.”
