12 Charts That Will Make Gold Bulls Furious

Joe Weisenthal
February 2, 2013, 10:48 AM

The anti-gold bandwagon is getting more and more crowded.

Analysts Tom Kendall and Ric Deverell of Credit Suisse is out with a bombshell report this morning titled: Gold: The Beginning Of The End Of An Era.

The article argues that the 2011 peak of $1921 was the top, and that now the run of the cult metal is coming to an end.

The argument essentially boils down to two arguments, which are related.

The first is that we're seeing rate normalization. When real interest rates are ultra-low, gold does well historically.

The second is that the era of crisis is over, and so the impulse to hedge against collapse (or massive volatility) is diminishing.

I like that a lot. Suppression serves many official purposes.

The day we have real positive interest rates is the day the US goes broke or devalues the currency. Interest rates cannot be allowed to rise since the debt is unpayable. As long as we have negative real rates, gold will be strong.

Yours is the most concise summary of the current economic situation I have heard. BTTT.

You have it backwards.

The price of specially printed paper representing blips on an electronic ledger is measured in ounces (troy) of gold.

All of these charts refer to the US economy. The US has not been a major driver in the gold price increases since 2000 (unless you subscribe to the COMEX fraud via naked short selling view).

"It is a worthless as cash.

I disagree, gold and silver have been money for over 5,000 years, no matter what happens gold and silver will continue to be money.

The correct form of a rebuttal would be to suggest that I cannot buy a gallon of gas with a silver quarter.

Why can't you buy gas with junk silver? We have local merchants who gladly accept payment in junk silver.
