    All of your comments are quite interesting, some even make sense. But the fact is, that no one can really know what is going to happen, as today we are experiencing; for the first time in our history, markets that are manipulated beyond reason for monetary gain, by a group of ruthless greedy crooks, who have absolutely no morals. I call these people, our Day Care Society, as they were dropped off and left in the care of people, who really didn't care about anything, other than being paid for watching them. Therefore they weren't taught fair play, concern for others, right from wrong. As long as these crooks are in charge of our government, wall street, large banks, and our courts, they will continue on until there is nothing left to steal. Then I guess slavery will be back. Some of the experts are calling for gold at $4500. and silver at $60. in 2012, and $12,000. $600. before the Bull is done. As I said earlier, no one really knows. I do know that as long as those in charge are allowed to circumvent our Constitution, calling it nothing but a #$%$ piece of paper, and are not being brought forth to answer for their crimes; things will not get better. Look at the recent Robo Sign Off Bill that Congress passed, which did nothing but allow the crooks to pay a pentence, walk free, and continue on with their scam against home owners and tax payers.

    If you bought gold at its high in 1980, you are STILL waiting for your breakeven point after inflation, which I thought gold was supposed to be a hedge against?
    But I'm sure the gold bugs will kick me in the teeth for pointing that out.

    It is the combination of Wall Street short selling gold stocks and buying hard bullion like the rest of the world. Only idiots think that the US dollar and the US are on solid footing. It is a ponzi scheme being continually manipulated by this admistration and the FED. Where pray tell are all of Barak's Top economic advisors? Romer..gone. Summers Gone..Christine Banks..gone. Goolsbie...gone..Next..Geitner gone. All firing up the jets and heading to their Keynsian paradice somewhere. Latest print by the BLS is pure #$%$ Americans soon to become divided even more. It is getting fun. All you who doubt this are burying your heads in the sand. Eventually the manipulation runs its course.

    India and China may begin to pay for Iranian oil using gold... Which means a drop in the USD and a move upwards in gold.

    Try eating that gold when times get tough. Who will want to buy it?

    Never bet against your own country. Take a dive gold diggers. Those who bought a few years ago will be selling at lower and lower prices to take profits. It is a pyramid scheme just like housing and oil.

    Gold bugs = Loss. The bears are taking over. Take a look at the LONG term charts on Gold. You will see a cycle. This is the beginning of the next cycle.

    @Chucko The very inflated price of gold is what discourages the masses. There is no reason for gold to be $1500 much less $1000.

    Russia increases it's gold reserves; Khasistan (sp) will buy it's own production for the next three years: do we see a trend here? I think 'the word is out' and something is up - where the value of gold is not really on the market anymore. It may be there for it's 'show' sake: but I think bankers of the world are in agreement to control gold, then hoard it. The fiat game is ending; time to circle the wagons.
  • Chucko  •  3 months ago
    Gold went up over $1700.00, and yet Yahoo! keeps the chart flatlined and the figure from Monday's selloff - which indicates a loss which has just been erased. Quick to show losses and slow to show gains: sounds like some kind of a program or policy to me. I think this is a 'marginal' influence, constantly applied, to discourage the masses from getting into or staying in gold.Does this constitute a bias?

    @ Greg... "Want to make money at home?" How about "try our plan and end up LOSING YOUR SHIRT AND YOUR HOME, at home!" Be honest and fair - you could lose just as much as gain profit; but you won't give THAT in your introductory "hook". Still it doesn't hurt to try to SKIM a few customers from such a margin as this comments section, huh?!?? "Learn how to make your own fortune trading gold." Sounds a lot like: "Learn how to make your own fortune selling real estate."

    Personally, I think gold still has room to increase in value. In time, it should top two grand an ounce - but only those who own PHYSICAL gold and are willing to stay in the game will get there. Lots of fish in the Sea. And you want the guppies in swimming with the Barracudas. Sell baby, sell.

    Gold should continue upwards in 2012 as the chart and indicators look strong plus the economic weakness of so many countries, people will continue to stay into gold for protection.
