It’s not the value of the gold which is changing.

So in other words this year will be a good time to buy?

If gold does have double digit losses, it’s a buying opportunity. Many of us are NOT into the short term buying/selling, but are investing for when the dollar does crash - and it will.

The situation today is very similar to the last days of the London Gold pool.

In theory the suppression of precious metals could carry on until Western Banks have literally sold their last ounce - but in practice the stopping point will be sooner than that. I think 2014 will see the end.

In the meantime I'd just like to thank the BIS and the Fed for all the Silver I've been able to buy at insanely cheap prices.

for gold to go down, or weaken, the dollar would have to strengthen...

what exactly is making the dollar stronger?

i can buy the argument that the dollar is stronger compared to other currencies, as they’re all racing to the bottom by diluting their currencies in an effort to lessen their debt...

but at no point is the dollar getting stronger.

i would also start to ponder the impact of bitcoins on the dollar, as people can move in/out of btc or gold fairly easily.... thereby reducing demand on gold

Gold looks like a great buy now, but do so carefully.

President Franklin Roosveldt made it illegal to own Gold in the 1930's. People had to turn it in at some ridiculous price ... or go to jail.

So interest rates are going up? I would guess that includes the rate on Treasury bonds? Well have these guys thought of the effect on debt servicing this will have? Not to mention it`s long term effect on the dollar`s stability?

Question for these econ geniuses: How high does it have to go before the debt becomes unsustainable?

Goldbug ping.

So NBC says that gold prices will drop this year? That must mean that gold will zoom up.

I hope both gold and silver plunge down to nothing, so I can afford to buy it all up because sure as God made little green apples, they both will shine again!
