$50-$100 dollar moves in gold are right around the corner.


A $100 move on a $1,400 commodity is like a $10 move on a $140 stock, or like a $1 move on a $14 stock.

The question isn't if it will happen. The question is when will it start going nuts.

    Yes, it might be comparable to, say, the dollar moving in large one hundred point increments as they are BOTH currencies, after all, just one is real!

  • It will happen as the dollar continues to lose value; where the dollar stops is the 15 trillion dollar question. Commodies are not gaining value; the dollar is just losing buying power.

    Could happen Wednesday, when the money printing starts. Silver could cross $30 same day.

    With gold having risen 5.5X since 2001, and the dollar index having fallen 40% in the same period, I think it's safe to say that this commodity (and probably many others) have far outpaced the drop in the dollar. There's more at work here than just the dollar drop. You can't even say that the money supply has been increased 5.5X in the past 9 yrs. Though one could say that the otc derivatives, debt and other crazy bets on our financial system have increased by 5.5X. I'd say gold is measuring itself against those things rather than just the old dollar.

    Gold can buy you 4X more today than what it could in 2001. In my area a house worth $150,000 in 2001 is probably worth about $150K-$200K today. 588 ounces of gold bought that house in 2001. Today...no more than 144 oz. Purchasing power plus a whole lot more is maintained.

  • The falling USD will push gold to $1500 sooner rather than later.

    Unfortunately it will push crude oil over $100 soon also.......

    I hope not ... That would indicate an immediate bubble .... I prefer a steady climb of 1% or less per week.

    I agree. I'm sure that Bernake agrees as well.

    I hope this dont crash to soon and stays there. we shall see .......
  • After gold hits $3000 then I'll watch for the drop off. We might be in the final days of being able to buy gold under $1500...ever!

    If you have any plans to buy gold from the Mint, I would suggest you do it before Wednesday.image

    Always bullish on gold, even in a bear market. It's insurance dummies, not an investment.
