GOLD Price Poll: What Group do you belong to?

I thought it would be fun to put our reputation on the line and predict the price of Gold (per ounce, in USD $) for the end of the year of 2010 (December 31, 2010).

I've divided the groups into five Categories.

All that is needed for your vote is either the price range you think it will be, or the name of the Group.

Group 1. "Super Gold Bug" Gold will be higher than $2500

Group 2. "Gold Bug" Gold will be anywhere between $1500 and $2500

Group 3. "Can't Really Decide" Gold will be between $1000 to $1500

Group 4. "Anti-Gold Bug" Gold will be between $500 to $1000

Group 5 "I believe in FIAT" Gold will be below $500


It may surprise many of you that I'm not putting myself in Group 1, rather I'm in Group 2 "Gold-Bug".

    Now I'm really worried that Gold will drop in price. Cramer just recommended buying it!image

    He's always on the wrong side of the trade.

    Since we're talking about 2 years from now I think group three could be considered gold bugs too. If it averages 25% per year from today the next two years that puts it at around $1400. If one believes it will gain 10% per year I still believe that person to be a gold bug. That would be just under $1100 and is still a nice return.

    1!

    I think our dollar will go through a massive devaluation.

    The debt-saster is just beginning.

    No guts leadership for the foreseeable future.

    I hope I am wrong.

    Group #3, $1125. It will each higher but settle back.

    Edit: Praying for some stability by then.

    higher end of group 3, probably around 1350/oz by the end of 2010. That means my Mary Todd Lincoln Spouse coins at the end of 2010 should cost me around $899.95 for the Unc and $919.95 for the proof.

    I think it is interesting that in setting the groups, if you believe gold will remain at current levels you are an anti-gold believer. What many are overlooking is that Europe is facing the same issues we are, they will just be delayed a bit. I am for number 5.

    I'm in group 2 until China takes care of us then who knows!?!

    I think we will see a/the SHTF scenario in 2.5 to 3 years.

    Until then I will continue to just slowly accumulate at any price. Doesn't do any good to sell and get more paper dollars - my stockpile is not for making profits, it is for preserving some wealth when the end of the greenback comes!

    Man, gold was headed into the toilet in Sept 2008 when this thread was first posted. It was much harder then to push the "I believe" trigger on $1000/$1500 gold at that time. It just got a whole lot easier that's for sure. There were many here back then who felt gold was done for good in March 2009 as some sort of one time mania just like January 1980.

    It's not gold that is doing anything funny or strange. It's the world around it and the currencies we use. Don't blame gold for being the messenger of bad tidings. If it goes to $1500 next it's only because poor choices by our leaders in monetary and economic policy lead it there.

    The central banks and world governments will do everything
    in their power to hold back the advance of gold short of actually
    reigning in spending. Eventually they probably will get the up-
    per hand but much of the debt will have disappeared to inflation
    by then.

    With the highly unsettled conditions it's probably still not wise
    to take on debt since there is risk here as well. More than ever
    you need to adjust to changing conditions.

    And never bet on catastrophy unless you're sure you can survive
    it.

    When the world wide view is that it is better to be holding gold, no amount

    of manipulation by central banks, will slow the avalanche in PM values to come.

    I don't entirely disagree but they have more power at their command than
    just the jawboning they've been doing recently. Just the threat of gold sales
    is a powerful depressant for the market and a few actual sales will reinforce
    this effect. Control of interest rates, money supplies, and regulations also
    can have strong effects if played well.

    Of course no amount of anything will stop the inexorible rise in gold if more
    money continually is spent than is raised. They've played the game with gold
    for 40 years and now the piper looks to be paid.
