is your local media covering the gold rise??

Is the news media in your town covering the rise in gold prices?

my fear is once the mainstream media start covering the gold rush... it will end quickly.

the best "news" is that the local media hasn't picked up on it yet !!

    Big story in the Chicago Tribune today.

    Last one on the train until it derails?

    It should go higher in this run, but a correction wouldn't surprise me at all. Especially since the papers are finally noticing it. image

    No.

    From CNNMoney.com announcing the record close.

    And the housing in shambles.
  • Not al all, nobody knows about it.
  • My local news media is a weekly paper. I
    haven't seen anything on the local TV station
    out of Houston.
  • No, but I'm actually more surprised nobody's talking about the unfolding dollar collapse yet.

    Alan,
    Since gold is a global commodity, and priced in (weak) dollars, why do you feel local media coverage will end teh rush. I realize some sales will come from the news of higher prices, but enough to sway the global market or make up for the very weak dollar (1 euro is over $1.46 today!!).

    neither is Fox Noise ( I mean "news") online or channel covering it. They are too busy showing minute-by-minute Britany Spears highlights, and how "students accused of burning man with freshly baked cookies" nonsense. Why report relevant topics when you can report drivel all day?

  • The local news has only been covering the stock markets, oil prices and who was elected dog catcher in dogpatch. Not a peep about PM prices.

    I've only seen it referenced on QVC when they sell 'Genuine Gold Plated State Quarters' image

    When calculating gold's inflation corrected value today one should remove the increase in gold production from 1980 to 2007. At an average gold production of 3% per year, you've have an 80% net inflation factor. Hence that $2200 would be a lot less. But if correct gold to the money stock increase (1200%), you'd get a far larger number.

    No, dammit. They're covering it up, reporting on a bunch of OT crap.

  • Once PM prices get broad mainstream media coverage, you know you are nearing the high. When the coverage switches to hype, it will be time to sell. Just like when fishing magazines have articles about "Fishing stocks you can buy NOW", the stock market is about to tank.

    Currently in Canada and the only news that keeps repeating is the Looney's strength against the U.S. dollar.
    They rarely talk about gold, but that's probably because they have so much of it in the north.
  • Except for a few infomercials in the wee hours of the weekdays I haven't seen anything covering the rise in gold. It seems like every day that we hear about a new record price for crude oil.

    itsnotjustme.... there is a "tradition" (or maybe a superstition) on Wall Street that when the "main stream media" get hold of a "trend," the trend will end.

    you're right, though, this current rally is not consumer-driven, but is really driven by the decline of the dollar.

    still, for it to continue, consumers (individuals and investors) will have to start buying gold.

    and so, once it hits the "front page" it will be "over."

    Our local media is more concerned with murders, weather and gas prices. CNBC does a lot of Gold talking, explaining it's rise with every news event on the burner.image

    And it is not all dollar linked. The Dollar has devalued 10% this year and Gold is up 30%
