You might be asking yourself how high is the gold price going to go. I recall years ago (around the year 2000) people saying that gold would never recover from $290/oz, that there was just no use for the metal. Since the gold standard had been abandoned, what were all the central banks to do with gold. I think there are a number of problems with this argument:
1. Gold has been a monetary unit for 5000 years
2. Just because governments have abandoned gold, it does not mean people have. In fact I would suggest any attempt by the central banks to abandon gold just makes it more valuable.
3. No other commodity shares gold's characteristics - silver comes close, but gold 'shines' because any years production or consumption is a fraction of total inventories, making pricing of the metal more stable. The speculative demand for gold today is really just because central bankers dont play homage to gold.
I produced this report to provide an analysis of where I think gold prices are heading, and the timetable for the gold boom. I have used several indicators to outline where I think gold is heading. Further details here.
