Gold going up this year?

Very tempting to buy in now.. But i think there will be somemore selling.. last wk Fed did say they will sell quite a sum of their golds right? So is the recent fall link to that?

As there is a possibility that the stocks market has buttom out. Investors might switch to invest on stocks than gold. The current gold price indeed looks attractive to enter though.

 

US$900 is a good level to buy. With the US$ still falling and Fed likely to cut interest rate again, gold should rise. Besides, gold prices keep rising, so no reason why gold can't.

 

think investors have not warmed up to investing in gold...

once they do u will see a vertical surge in the price..and then u'll know its time to dump..

for now price abt USD900 still worth investing in... anyway ya hedging against inflation..

do not hold currency..it's worthless... u can print money..but can u print GOLD?

 

I will skip gold totally this year. It's too drummed up by speculators.

Prefer AUD and Euro.

 

gold experiencing correction...opportunity to accumulate more

 

Hmm...there's something in common between this burger and his former partner these days, both openly announce their investment strategy hoping that the masses will follow suit into the same directions which may snowball and become a formidable force. Warning!

 

You can find Jim Rogers' quote in today's Sunday Times in the Global Commodities Delta Fund advert.

Dear Hulumas,

When gold was <US$300, it was 1999. I didn't notice it rising slowly until 2 years ago when it was around US$480. Not cheap in 2006, but still around half today's value.

I did mention last week support is around US$873 and the next is around US$850. These are good buy levels. My advice is not to reduce, but to accumulate around those levels. My target over the next few years is a new inflation-adjusted new record. May I know at what price you bought?

 

Dear Zhuge_Liang,

Why did not you post ealier when the Gold still around USD 300 and hold for long term till now? Would that be too late to buy at the high end price now? I keep selling mine, reducing my Gold holding switching to buy equity progressively. What do thing about it? Please give some comment!

Moving up to US$2000 or more within the next few years is very possible. Gold prices are rising together with other commodities. Top investor Jim Rogers, 65, said that commodity prices are going up because inventories are at the lowest they've been in decades. He blames the commodity supply crunch on a lack of investment in production technology, the limited availability of arable land, and a shortage in equipment such as tractors and in raw materials, seeds and fertilisers. Mr Rogers said a recession in the United States would have little effect on prices. "Even if demand flattens out, you can have a bull market. Supply is under terrible duress," he said, pointing out that when commodities have done well, such as in the 1960s and 1970s, stocks have performed badly. Conversely, when equities prospered in the 1980s and 1990s, commodities were in the doldrums. He estimates the commodities bull market will run until 2020. Mr Rogers said the bull market in commodities is probably about one-third of its way through the cycle - which, based on history, could last between 15 and 23 years. "The 20th century saw 3 long commodities bulls (1906-1923, 1933-1953, 1968-1982), each lasting an average of a little more than 17 years. The new millenium has begun with another boom in real things. In my opinion it begun in early 1999." He is particularly positive on agriculture. "Inventory of food is at the lowest it has been for 40-50 years; we may face mass starvation. The world is in a precarious position. Commodities prices will go higher, no matter what the US$ does" he said. Unlike stocks, history has shown that commodities move in much longer cycles. Because prices are depressed for long periods, when bull runs occur they will be very powerful. So if you miss this bull run, it probably won't happen until the next generation. And you may not be alive then to benefit from it.
