You will then see a serious scramble for physical gold and that will translate in to much, much higher prices than what is being quoted today.” ***KWN has now released the extraordinary audio interview with legend Art Cashin discussing his greatest fear and the the implication of this for the gold market and you can listen to it by CLICKING HERE OR ON THE IMAGE BELOW.
