This is very interesting. I wonder why (besides being a manipulated commodity) that it is going down so consistently??

[#20]
I stopped buying when it went over $450/oz. Maybe I will buy it when it gets to $500, who knows?

My parents bought me a Krugerand back in the 70s, when they first became available and I think they paid $119 for it and I sold it a year later and got ~$135 IIRC. They also bought my brother and I 10 shares each of the Baltimore Orioles, so I was a major league baseball owner before I could drive, just about, lol. Times, they are a changin'. Chris |

Gold to $600 View Quote You are high. Put down the bong and step away from the keyboard. As long as the dollar is weak, gold will be strong. The dollar has not doubled in value overnight. |

I haven't bought gold since it was ~ $900. I won't buy it again until it is ~ $700. Mostly because I now have two kids and no disposable income.

The pendulum swings in both directions. If the Gold market capitulates, I'll be buying at 8 or 9. Filling ye old Pirate chest at 7

Nor has the dollar lost 66% of it's value in the past 10 years... Gold was $400 a decade ago you may recall. Using your own logic, $600 might actually be a pretty reasonable price as far as W.A.G's go. |

As soon as the Banks shove down the price of gold down to $1000 using fractionalized paper gold, they can dump their shorts.
Then gold will shoot back up. |

Gold will be $2k by the end of 2012 2013 2014 all the gold bugs here swore it would. I just went back and read a few of the gold threads from a few years ago. There are some gems in there about how gold won't crash, it's going to $3,000, and then various hurled insults at anyone who suggests gold is in a bubble. My favorite one is from when gold hit $1,900 and one of the gold bugs was mocking anyone who was buying stocks back in 2011: Its a bubble. You should buy Blew Chips instead herp derp durr. Oops... |

I live in gold country. I remember the mid 90's boom and early 2000 bust. Was stable for several years then boomed again dropped, then leveled off. $600 would be interesting and would cause serious lay offs and make things interesting.

Using your own logic, $600 might actually be a pretty reasonable price as far as W.A.G's go. Actually I think it would be easier to argue that the dollar has lost at least half of its value since gold was $600. Add in a little over speculation on the current price of gold and the two track pretty well. Between the Feds pumping out currency, massive deficit, generally corrupt financial practices and a world wide recession the dollar has easily lost most of its value compared to its buying power. Think Zimbabwe dollars. Currently gold is over valued. A small correction is to be expected, but $600 today is a pipe dream. |

I'm not familiar with any data that suggests that the dollar has lost half it's value since gold at $600. |
