    I found that interesting as well as there are a lot more predictions of >$2000 gold than say 8 months ago.

    When I saw Clif Droke's name on that list I was really surprised as he is no gold bug, just an excellent technician who uses sentiment, TA and cycle theory very well in stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities. When I went to the link provided there was no mention of any gold prediction in his article, let alone >$2,000. I sent the publisher a note as to the bad reference or erroneous attribution. Then I tried it again for Adam Hamilton of Zeal ($3500) and got some commodities site that didn't give any clear direction where to find an article by him or anyone else. I did try a 3rd one at $5,000 for P. Radomski and that was indeed listed. At 2 for 3 I think some more link checking is needed by the author. Fiat bugs are very touchy about not being able to have everything at their fingertips to disprove a bullish gold theory. If I were one, I could have panned the article after testing just 2 links. I read those 3 guys pretty regularly so I wanted to ensure the author's statements rang true with what I've read.

    R-R,

    I took a look at the Clif Droke link and noticed the same thing... so I used that page search bar and put in: Clif Droke $6000. I got another page (link) and way down near the bottom was the following:



    << <i>“If gold increased at the same level in the current fourteen years as it did in the previous fourteen years,” he says, “gold has the potential upwards of $6,000 an ounce.” >>



    But that looked to me that Clif Droke was qouting "Bud" Kress (#31 on the list)... hmmmmm. So I checked the link for Kress... bad address...

    'Maybe' some of those 'cut and paste' links aren't as direct as we would like.

    The new paradigm shift in gold is about to happen.

    Just waiting for the catalyst.

    I think what we're seeing is a few people getting out of paper and switching to
    physical. There are large quantities of gold but there are small amounts that have
    been sold many times over by the banks.

    The situation in silver is much worse. Silver has been sold five times over but this
    applies to almost all silver noy just a small percentage of it. It simply doesn't re-
    quire a very high redemption rate to cause these metals to move.

    Shorts have got to be very afraid. The status quo has always been unsustainable
    but never moreso than when trust is eroded in the banks.

    All it will take to cause silver to explode is a match and higher prices can do it. Gold
    will always coattail on upward silver moves but silver can go down on its own. So
    long as the economy is recovering gold will be higher. Silver might go up in any case.
    Tempus fugit.

    I pray gold can be held under $40,000 per ounce.

    My prediction is about $7,000.

    Cladking - I basically agree with your $ 7000 level, but a somewhat frightening thought is as follows - at this price, it would still require almost all US gold reserves to pay down new debt incurred in 2010.

    (I do believe, by the way, that the gold is still there, but suspect most of it will be sold within the next decade as part of an international agreement that stabilizes financial markets)

    It is interesting to see Christopher Wood on the list as well. My impression is that he's a fairly mainstream voice (with a lot of Japan experience!)

    Higashiyama, welcome back. Haven't seen you around here in some time. image

    Funny, I tried the Wood link as well and nowhere in that article does Wood even mention a price of gold nor does he state concurrence with anyone else's inputs. ????

    I did get a letter back from the editor of the article and indeed, Clif Droke's listing was in error. As meluaufeet suggested already he got linked with Kress since he often cites his work on cycles. So Droke will be removed from the list. Darn, getting Droke in that mix would have been a coup. But when Droke finally gets added for real....that will be early in the final blow off.

    The catalyst maybe as simple as ALL countries trying in unison to make their currency as weak as possible. This is happening now. Whether it translate into $2500 oz gold is another matter. MJ

    I for one want a steady rise, with dips and a hard hit every now and then just like we have seen for the last six years. $5000 gold next month would mean worthless dollars next month.
