Gold hits today another all time record high above $1900$ and Continues to Rise! Jeffrey Nichols, senior economic adviser to Rosland Capital LLC, gives his outlook for Gold , we had big purchases this year by central banks those are likely to continue and what is really important about central banks is that gold is now off the market , when speculators or even investors buy gold often they will sell it a few months or a year later these central banks are there for decades most likely , we have strong demand from India and from China , retail investors from Europe and the United States all are buying gold

Jim Cramer : If you have more than twenty percent of your assets in Gold that's the only time you should sell ( I have more than 80 percent of my assets in Gold and I am not selling a bit , so I beg to disagree with Jim Cramer here
) and people who do not have twenty percent or minimum ten percent should using any weakness to buy , any weakness , I am looking for an alternative to the debasing of world currencies and silver is not that says Jim Cramer regarding the Silver , Gold is not a bubble , what gold is , is an alternative that's what it is getting it is getting alternative status it is changing its asset class and that's why it is not a bubble it is a reconfiguration

problems around the world and also in Libya are supporting the Gold rally just recently Hugo Chavez has recalled over $11 billion worth of gold reserves to come back to Venezuela calling gold from the U.S., Europe, Canada and the Swiss Bank. France and Germany met this week in Paris to discuss the EU bail out plan and help get the euro zone back on track. and the FED may announce QE3 .it doesn't matter if gold/silver corrects 20%. by 2012 2013 they will double in value.
the global economy is unrepairable and needs to collapse
Jeff Neilson does a really good job explaining the current issues in this market and how to make use of the gold/silver ratio as a means to optimize your precious metals portfolio.
A brief history of the gold:silver ratio: Notice the dates: fixed for many years, then it floated over 40:1 when silver demonetized Roaring 20s brought it down to 16:1 Great Depression, ratio went to 100:1, no significant industrial use After the post WW2 boom, it went way down, industrial use and electronics Early 1970s, US off gold standard and individuals could own gold - look how it went up Hunt Brothers event bottoming it out at 9:1 Then it went back up, over 90:1 during the recession of the 1990s Dot-com boom sent it under 60:1 Panic of 2008 sent it over 80:1 - deflation, less industry use Recent stimulus sent it to 60:1
Preservation of Wealth is all about the accumulation of assets against the dangers of fiat currency, inflation , Gold is for Real Wealth Preservation , how difficult economic calculation is when the unit of account is unstable and the price of money, interest rates, are distorted and centrally planned, not reflecting real free market supply and demand.
If we consider that a gold coin is worth around $2,000 or so today. Then we can get an idea of how it could work again to carry gold/silver. Lets say gold is valued at $10,000 someday. That would mean that small fractional coins would be very easy to carry and worth a great deal of purchasing power. Instead of carrying around $100 or $1,000 notes we could carry a couple small coins. Each merchant has a scale or scanner to verify the gold.

Jim Rogers : I own gold , if it goes down I am going to buy more I do not see any reason to sell gold until it winds up in a big bubble that's may be ten years from now , I do not know when it is going to be all commodities are going to go up a great deal more including gold , do not sell your gold if it goes down buy some more , absolutely it is going to go over 2000 dollars may be not this year I hope not this year but certainly over this decade no question....- in ABC Australia interview
Marc Faber : Gold is likely to correct, possibly by $100 or $150, but I continue to recommend gradual accumulation. As long as the trio of Obama, [U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner] and Bernanke are in power, gold is destined to move higher. Long-term U.S. Treasuries are of no value. They will default by paying interest in a worthless currency. - in Baron's Blog
Chavez GoldAction Leads to Backwardation, Short Squeeze and Havoc Concerns . Venezuela's President wants all the country's gold being held in European and American banks returned to Caracas. It would be the largest physical movement of gold in recent history. Hugo Chavez said he's trying to protect his country from the financial woes on both sides of the Atlantic. Chavez is brilliant, one of the only true leaders of the age. He puts these massive immoral countries to shame. He empowers his people and takes control of his resources while these other monsters that bad mouth him oppress their people and sell their resources for pennies to their friends..Chavez should make sure that every single gold bar be tested when it returns to Venezuela.Make sure these scam artists dont gold plate a load of tungsten bars to give back to him.Pretty bad when a small country puts its larger competitors to shame by following the rules of just governance.
President Hugo Chavez said his government plans to "bring home" 211 tons of gold currently stored in international banks.
Up to USD 6.3 billion in liquid reserves will also be transferred to banks in Brazil, China, and Russia. The transfers are expected to take more than two months.
Chavez has also announced that he may invoke the Enabling Act which will grant him powers to pass a law next week to nationalize the country's gold industry.
Some critics say this move may lead to possible international sanctions after next year's elections.
According to Venezuela's Ministry of Finance and Central Bank, two-thirds of its total reserves (USD 18 billion) are in gold.
Marc Faber : I think that Gold have had a bit of a run-up here that is above the trend line and that a correction can occur but I do not see a huge downside risk in Gold because if you think it through and people are concerned about cash they are concerned about sovereign debt they are concerned about everything and the stock market has given a very powerful sell signal , I think as soon as gold price drops say a 100 - 150 dollars there will be a lot of physical buying ...
Bob Chapman : well you heard the song up up and away . that's just the way it is going to be , one of the psychological aspects of this and these people are very good at this , JP Morgan Chase came up a couple of days ago and said Gold is going to $2500 by the end of the year , here there are with the largest short position , naked short position in silver and silver usually runs with Gold , what are they up to ? , what they are up to is this : they are trying to set up a barrier at $2500 because they think on the short term before the end of the year it could go higher than that , they are trying to set a psychological new ceiling , it is just common sense and understanding the criminal mind , if you want to find out what they are doing you have to think like a criminal ...that's what they are trying to do here , they are not frightened about gold they know it is going to $8000 , they are just as smart as we are , but they want it to go as slowly and incrementally as possible
(19Aug11) People rushing into gold to protect their money
World investors rush to buy gold; prices continue to soar .Fueled by concerns over the security of bonds, investors all over the world are flocking to gold. Retailers are also benefiting from increasing demand for the yellow metal, and soaring prices. But analysts have a word of warning - what goes up, must eventually go down.
Gold prices have rebounded and continue to soar on the international market. Experts attribute the recent gold rush to investors' weak confidence in European bonds, on the heels of the region's lackluster economic performance.Continuously soaring gold prices are due to investor worries. Concerns were revived by the recently-released European economic results, which were unsatisfactory
Peter Schiff on RT America 19 Aug 2011 : Goldis a safe heaven treasuries are not , people who buy Treasuries think they are safe heaven they are mistaken and when they will figure it out they will go to gold , Gold is not in any bubble because if this was a bubble or a mania you would expect gold stocks to be outperforming the metal because that's where all the speculative money flows ...there is no floor to the fiat currencies as they keep printing them so there is no ceiling for gold to go to , Gold is like a thermometer on the economy , the yield on treasuries is negative , so how you get safety with a negative yield ? I think the people who are going to lose the most money are the people who are in bonds , people will lose more money in bonds than in stocks ...Gold is the one place there is not a bubble because gold is reflecting the loss of purchasing power of fiat currencies , Gold is not going up it is paper currencies that are losing value ... Gold is money everything else is a poor substitute
David Tice (http://prudentbear.com) and James Turk, Director of the GoldMoney Foundation, talk about the 1999 credit bubble symposium, and the outlook for Gold.
David Tice : "Well, I think people should own gold and silver bullion. I am a shareholder of GoldMoney.com. I'm also a big customer of GoldMoney.com. I think that's a great place to hold your bullion. I also own a number of junior gold mining companies. I've typically not owned the seniors, but I'm now starting to invest in seniors. I'd say probably a third. I'm more invested in silver today than gold. I'm a believer in what Eric Sprott talks about, as far as silver having even more extraordinary potential than gold does. I'd say it's kind of an individual preference, as far as how much bullion versus how much metals equities, but a nice blend would be appropriate."
Gold Hits Record High as Global Economic Uncertainty Continues .For investors in this economic climate, it seems that all that glitters is gold. The price of gold hit a record high on Friday, as investors are seeking safer assets amid deepening concerns over slowing economic growth and the outlook for euro zone banks. Gold spot was up 2-and-a-half percent at 1,868 dollars 70 cents an ounce after peaking at 1,877 an ounce.It is being called a modern day gold rush, and is fueled by the dismal performance of the stock markets across Asia pacific Europe and North America . The US Dollar is dead, the body just hasn’t hit the floor yet.You still have some time to save your wealth by exchanging your worthless paper for gold and silver.
Jim Rogers : I do not like buying anything going straight up. I like to buy something going down. So if and when gold goes down, I hope I am smart enough to buy more and I would buy silver the same way.
Hugo Chavez wants to repatriate all of Venezuela's gold reserves deposited abroad, mainly in London and New York Vaults . Hugo Chavez Demands 99 Tons of Venezuelan Gold Returned From the Bank of England/ JP Morgue
he also have decided to nationalize the exploration and exploitation of gold and related activities inside Venezuela .
He calls it a measure of national sovereignty by ordering the central bank to repatriate $11 billion of gold reserves held in developed nations' institutions such as the Bank of England as prices for the metal rise to a record high .
Venezuela, which holds 211 tons of its 365 tons of gold reserves in U.S., European, Canadian and Swiss banks, will progressively return the bars to its central bank's vault, Chavez said yesterday. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Barclays Plc (BARC), and Standard Chartered Plc (STAN) also hold Venezuelan gold, he said.
Chavez, whose government depends on oil for 95 percent of its export revenue, is looking to diversify Venezuela's cash reserves from U.S. and European banks to include investments in emerging markets including Brazil, China, India, Russia and South Africa, central bank President Nelson Merentes said yesterday.
The world's 15th-largest holder of gold is bringing back its gold after a 28 percent rally in the price this year.
This is the same what France did in 1969, Charles de Gaulle, sent a naval battleship to reclaim their gold due to a trade imbalance deficit, 300 million or something? The "exorbitant privilege?" There is a cool video up about this. England tried to do it right away also but was told no. France was unhappy about Bretton-Woods. They got it back! Uprated.
Geitner and the Bernanke are going to do the Old "Check is in the Mail" story. Yeah we got your gold, we are just arranging a barge to bring you your gold....... Two weeks late ring ring, Hey Hugo, this is Tim Geitner at US Treasury, bad news on the gold you ordered, what I know you didn't order it you mean the gold you own well the barge it was on, someboy was playing with the controls at the HAARP facility and it get sunk by a water spout, but we are getting it for you, don't worry.:)
"what happens if the physical gold is not there?", i.e. it's rumored that a lot of gold held by the international banks has been in play for so-called "Leasing".
This move by Venezuela might uncover that the physical Gold just isn't anywhere to be found even though the au is still carried as inventory by numerous bullion banks, etc.
The US gold reserve hasn't been audited for a long, long time (better than 20 years). Is there gold at Fort Knox or are there just IOU's from a wide range of counter-parties?
An organization called GATA has maintained for a long time that most of the physical gold has been "leased" and will never been seen again.
It's an interesting issue to follow during these troubling times.

Nigel Farage has spent 20 years as a commodity broker and trader " I suspect we have not seen the worst yet , I think what happened in 2008 is we deferred the banking crisis it is now coming back to bite " Nigel Farage says " It is impossible to predict where gold will go but it is not impossible that Gold could double again from here , the western world finance are in the most horrifying mess , our banking industry has been allowed to go completely out of control"
Hugo Chavez of Venezuela nationalizing Venezuela's Goldmines
Phillip Streible : "there is insufficient response to the sovereign debt crisis in europe. makes sense for gold prices. he's repatriating. and the physical front and by him nationalizing all by gold mines in venezuela, you know, you have to think those gold mines, although Venezuela is not a key player, some of that gold makes it out on to the market. and those people are going to have to look for gold out there and try and, you know, recapture and harness down some of the that gold that they need. "
Gold remains the ultimate safe heaven says Andrey Kryuchenkov, a commodities analyst at VTB Capital, Any Gold Sell off Would Be `Short-Lived' Central Banks became net buyers of gold , Gold will remain the most appealing short term asset , where else would anybody put his money when there are so many market uncertainties and the FED just announced that it will keep interest rates so low for another couple of years ....
Gold is now number export out of Dubai after Oil and they want to keep it that way they built a physical and financial market , there is a gold future Market in Dubai , the trend is of aggressive accumulation , unlike the other times when the gold prices climb investors used to take advantage by selling their jewelery , this time it is not happening , Gold sales are up a 100 percent to individual consumers , the rulers of Dubai want to become a gateway to the Indian market one of the largest Gold markets . they even created a Dubai gold coin to be legal tender ....
China and India remain key driers to the gold market , they totally now account for over fifty percent of both bar and coins investment and jewelery demand on a regular basis ....demand remains strong , in both these countries the saving rates are much higher than in western countries and gold is very easily available liquid asset unlike western countries , China used to make no net contribution to the Gold market they would consume their entire gold mine production and have no net effect , last year they imported 260 tons , this year they are going to import well over 300 tons may be as high as 400 tons i 2011 , s there was a huge shift on the demand side of this market , this is a market in deficit not in surplus , mine production is rising but it is not rising fast enough to keep pace with the growth of demand - Marcus Grubb, managing director of investment research at the World Gold Council
In some parts of the world gold is viewed as the protector of wealth. In North America, gold is viewed as a speculative investment. Our economists regard a rising gold price as an admission of defeat, and their disparaging attitude toward higher gold prices took on a more desperate tone in 2010. Nevertheless, gold had another remarkable year, up 25% in 2010, its tenth straight annual gain. Meanwhile, over the same 10-year period, five major currencies -- the US and Canadian dollars, the euro, the British pound and the yen -- have lost between 70% and 80% of their value. In reality, gold is not rising; currencies are falling in value, and gold can rise as far as currencies can fall. Nick discusses the three dominant medium-term trends that pushed up gold prices in 2010 (central bank buying; movement away from the US dollar; China) as well as three longer-term, irreversible trends that will put upward pressure on the gold price for years to come (the aging population; outsourcing; peak oil). In addition to these trends, more and more investors will be competing to buy a shrinking gold supply. As safe-haven demand accelerates, there will be a transition from the $200-trillion financial asset market to the $3-trillion above ground gold bullion market. About half of that $3 trillion is held by central banks as reserves; the remainder is privately held, and not for sale at any price. If the world's pension and hedge funds moved only 5% of their assets into gold, it would trade at over $5,000 per ounce. Nick's conclusion: Without any new financial crises, both mid- and long-term trends indicate that gold -- and silver -- will continue rising through 2011 and well beyond.
John Embry : Well it could be, because as you go down the path to hyperinflation, it just means that money is being devalued at an ever greater rate. Gold, being real money, is priced in this devalued money.
People just don't seem to grasp that it's not gold that's doing anything; it's the value of the money in which it's denominated that's driving the bus. It's going straight down and the price of gold ultimately will go straight up.
Now having said all of that, you got to be careful what you wish for, because the societal impact of this could be very, very negative. I would just as soon be wrong, but my job is to analyze things and this is the way I see it.
David Morgan :"..... I mean, the view I have is that it's not gold that is in a bubble. it is the debt bubble. it is the increasing of the burden of government's printing more money and that's the real problem. gold's reflecting that reality. so, i think the current case is that the united states finally got the message with the downgrade by the s&p to a lower credit rating and i think this is going to be put some stimulation you might say into the political system that may actually cause some action to take place. if the u.s. can get the debt house in order, i think you'll see some leveling off in the gold price. if that doesn't occur, you probably see the opposite
Bill Murphy GATA Chairman interviewed on Gold Seek Radio Nugget - 10 Aug 2011 , Bill Murphy :
that's what GATA have been saying for years the gold cartels losing control of the market they just cannot handel the physical demand , Gold is going to explode in years ... If you live on planet GATA , we have predicted all this and it is happening , we were talking about it when Gold was 300 and 400 we expected it , basically the gold cartel is run out of available central banks that do what the tell them to do , it is the opposite now , now these central banks like South Korea Thailand Greece even Russia China are all buying and the gold cartels just do not have enough gold to keep the price down , that's what happening ....because gold is so expensive people are going to go to silver and the only reason silver is acting 'comme ci comme ca ' like now is just because of JP Morgan and what they are doing they try to keep it down they are desperate , silver is going to go berserk and there is not much time for investors left to get on board
Mike Maloney : If you know how the world's financial system works you know the game we are playing , and if you do not know the game and the rules we are playing by you are going to get slaughtered , you are going to get slaughtered , ever since the federal reserve was born we have been living under a lie ,The Federal Reserve they are buying bonds directly from treasury this is quantitative easing and that means there is an emergency going on ...says Mike Maloney ....Think about it in terms of Zimbabwe. An ounce of gold would be worth a quintillions of Zimbabwe dollars, but people have hundred trillion Zim dollar notes. You might be thinking of it in terms of the US dollar still having whatever purchasing power it still has. Also, there will be buyers, and gold can be subdivided.
the currency is not created out of thin air, it is created out of OUR DEBT. the more notes of a currency is created the larger the DEBT. the larger the DEBT the larger the pressure on the real economy. the larger the pressure on the real economy the larger the debasement of our standard of living.
oligarchy gets money we get DEBT.
they get cake we get shit.
I am afraid that oligarchy also controls a hug amount of gold. if it's so, then they got us by the balls again.

Discussing whether it is time to get back to gold standard , with Jared Bernstein, CNBC contributor; and John Tamny, Real Clear Markets. "It was a monumental blunder, the biggest of modern times. leaving gold was a devaluation of the dollar and as history shows when money is devalued, investment becomes defensive. it flows into the hard assets of yesterday that already exist and away from the innovative ideas of tomorrow in assets that don't exist, leaving gold restrained, our economic evolution and it shows up in the numbers that you just cited. we've grown less quickly, unemployment's been higher. it's been a major disaster and it's time to turn back " says John Tamny
Today Monday and Tomorrow Tuesday , Aug 15th and 16th. is the exact fortieth anniversary of Nixon's taking us off the gold standard and forty is a very magical mystical and powerful number in numerology and many religions.

Phil Streible : I think the correction will be limited , I mean last week was panic buying in the Gold , now that's starting to come off , we are looking at some key levels of support , about a hundred dollars lower from that high so $1717 and bellow that is &1680 those are our support levels , but I think gold prices are going to stabilize they are waiting for tomorrow when France and Germany meet there is no expectation that anything will come out of it , I think it will really disapoint investors and they will come back into the gold market
What's your Gold jewelry is really worth ?
What you need to know if you're selling your gold jewelry. 24 carat gold is 100% gold. most of you, however, only have 14 carat gold. if you have 14 carat gold, that gold, the pure gold in a 14 carat gold piece of jewelry is only 58.5%. if you have 18 carat gold, there's only 75% of gold in that 18 carat gold piece of jewelry. so you can't figure it the way that you have been figuring it. also, when they melt your gold down, they lose gold to vapor and evaporation and all of these things, so it doesn't equate the way that you think it has been equating. next, where do you go and take your gold to be sold
Jim Rogers : Well, I own gold and I see gold breaking new highs and racing up. I don't like to buy things when that is happening; when gold goes down I will buy more gold. Gold is going straight up, it will probably correct somewhere and I hope it will correct somewhere along the line and if it does I will buy more.
Governments all over the world are debasing currency; Yesterday, the US Federal Reserve said it will continue to debase their currency. The more the governments will debase paper currency, people will take refuge in real assets and gold is one of them.

Sharon Epperson reports from the floor "well, you know, we often talk about the fear factor that's in this market. and gold is the absolute fear gauge. that is what we're seeing and traders on the floor here are telling me. we are looking at gold prices that hit that record of $1,801 and have come off of that slightly. $160 move just since Friday in gold and volumes that we haven't seen ever before here at the CME group. when you look at gold priced in dollars, record there, gold priced in euros record too. it lets you know this is a global story, the global economy's in turmoil. that is what we're watching, and that is what is reflected here in the gold price, particularly when it applies to the European bank situation and also here in the u.s. the fact that we're going to see low rates for the next 22 months. that is driving the price higher. but what could drive the price for $2,500, that is something that is the fear or the vix. the gold vix in particular, a great indicator of that. look at how it's spiked just in the last couple of days. that kind of volatility is the reason that JP Morgan is saying we could see gold at $2,500 an ounce in the next six months."
David Morgan : Gold Stocks are stocks they are not gold , If you have weakness in the general equity market gold stocks generally will follow the equities itself and that what happened , once we bottomed and even before we bottom does not have to be a general equity bottom it could be so more along the line people say I want to buy Gold , a lot of people when they come late into this market buy gold stocks thinking it is Gold , in a way they are buying a derivative of Gold
Kirsty Hogg interviewed by Kerry Lutz (Aug 08 2011 ) on the outlook for Gold and the global economy
Kirsty Hogg : I benefited so much by turning off the TV and not listening to the financial advises broadcasted by main stream media , there is a decline of America and the western world because we left the gold standard , we have to allow the too big to fail to fail....
Jim Rogers : you see gold going up like a rocket , I own Gold but it is getting ahead of itself , you are exactly right , one has to be careful when you see a class like this , a panic climate .....- in Fox Business News Interview 08/08/2011
Peter Schiff: ....ever since it hit 500 people have been asking me that exact same question , and I am going to give you the same answer it is not too late to buy , Gold is going a lot higher the dollar is going to lose a lot more value - in Fox Business News interview 08/08/2011
Jim Sinclair interviewed by James Turk - August 5 2011 at the GATA conference in London
Jim Sinclair : credit has gone wild and it is coming home to roast , the reserve currency is broke it will transmit its problems throughout the western world , it is an entire western world currency problem that is endemic because of the dollar which transmitted the problems of debt not simply to the US but to the rest of the world and they all went nutts on the derivatives , it is human nature to the extreme , it is GREED , who needs enemies for the financial leadership we have ?! the ultimate protection for you is be your own central bank you'd rather own gold than reserve currency dollars ,
Gold is up 40.9% from this date last year.investors and central banks all around the world are becoming aware of the evidence that Gold and Gold is MONEY , Gold is not an investment it is MONEY the one and only money , Gold so far is way way undervalued when everybody realizes that the king has no clothes that the fiat money is just paper with ink , trillions of dollars will be rushing into Gold and Silver , the prices of gold and Silver will explode in a way that nobody can imagine we might see Gold at $80K an ounce if not more , this is not a bubble , it is just the world is starting to wake up from decades long delusion that paper is money ....you are still in time to go change your pile of worthless cash for some gold coins you will be glad you did in a year from now ....
Bert Dohmen of the Wellington Letter , president and founder of Dohmen Capital Research Institute discusses with Jim Puplava of the Financial sense newshour , according to Bert Dohmen Gold today should be worth 9000 dollars an ounce the way they valued it at Bretton Woods "investors have now found out in the last two years with all this fantastic stimulus that has been put into the system everywhere in China in the US in Europe it was all for nothing , all we got was a two year cyclical bull market , we are in a bear market right now that actually started in 2007 , this is the worse situation ""Gold is the only money " " we are going to have a pull back in gold because they are going to raise margin requirement as they did with Silver "
Gold prices surged 66 dollars overnight to an all time high of $1718.20 an ounce
The interest for gold was fueled by by S & P's decision to downgrade the rating of the United States, making the outlook for the largest economy in the world more gloomy ,but also the concerns about the debt problems in the Eurozone and its contagion effects . Goldman Sachs also raised its 12 months price target on gold to $1860 and looking at the growth in gold and the rally to continue through 2012

This S&P Downgrade might also help send the Gold north of $100/oz $1800/oz and it may increase the process of global holding says Economist Max Fraad Wolff , Gold may become a substitute to the dollar as the world reserve currency
The Maggots will thrive in the rotting corpse that used to be our economy. The vultures and hyenas will feast and fatten on the bloated corpse that used to be our middle class. When the flies hatch and buzz away all that will be left are bones and a greasy spot. Welcome to the new 2 class social order...the elite and everybody else.
Eric Sprott: Gold was the investment of the last decade and silver will be the investment of this decade , and I do believe in the thesis that silver will get back to a 16 to 1 ratio to Gold , so Gold is over $1600 , so theoretically Silver can be a 100 dollars , I see the buying coming in to one to one I see the supply of Gold above ground is approximately a hundred tims greater than silver but the buying is one to one so something got to give somewhere ....
Frank Holmes, U.S. Global Investors CEO/chief investment officer says that Gold prices can move 15% over any 12 month period "the big bubbles in any sector usually take place with excessive leverage , when gold went $850 in 1980, the futures market was leveraged ten to one ,the bulk of this gold today is not leveraged and you're also seeing emerging market central bankers buying gold. we saw Mexico, Korea, you're seeing a shift and that's basically a cash trade . I think the bouillon ETF is predominantly a cash trade. so we're not in a bubble. we do not have an exponential move , when we look at NASDAQ in the '90s or we look at gold what it did in the '70s , what it did in the '70s."
Gold hits yet another all - time high at $1672/oz and it seems unstoppable as Central Banks acrosse the world continue to buy gold and move away from their US dollar reserves and US treasuries . Gold and Silver continue to rise , and we will likely hit the $2000/oz mark way before the end of this year
Gold record high, spurred by U.S. economic worries and the European debt crisis."gold has traded at another record 1,645 an hour, hitting the all-sometime nominal high, just at the close of equities trading in europe. that brought the losses there brought gold to the new highs we're seeing, but there are several factors at work here. yes, we may be close to a debt deal in washington, but traders are focused on the fact we may see a double dip in the economy here in the u.s. and in europe as well. and add to that the buys we're sees fromation central banks. the first time sorry has bought gold since in 13 years, this is the we're rear looking at central 245s something that's drives the interests to an all-time high. back to you. sharon epperson, thanks so much. electronics arts is starting something new."
" Gold on fire and hitting a new record as they passed the debt limit bill. the traders are saying, yeah, now the deal is done and it has been priced in. what happened about the u.s. downgrade? Fitch came out and they pieced the market with their commentary and we still haven't heard from s&p and moreover as bob mentioned and now the focus is back on the global macro issues that have been in this market place and have caused this gold to rally. the sovereign debt crisis remains and the fact that we have such weak economic data or the ism manufacturing data yesterday and then there's the bank of south Korea. of course, a number of the Asian banks over the last year and a half have been buying gold, India, china and now the bank of south Korea have about 25 metric tons of gold, the first time that they purchased gold in 13 years and this is highlighting the bullish stance that central banks have for gold and the need to diversify away from the dollar and that's what we're seeing in Korea over the last two months"
South Korea has spent more than a billion dollars in gold: the first acquisition in over a decade, justified by uncertainty about global growth and problems related to the sovereign debt of various countries that led the central banks to diversify their reserves in order to protect themselves from market volatility.
The central bank of South Korea announced the move in a statement which says that the central bank has bought 25 tons of gold bullion over the past two months, bringing the total to 39.4 tons of gold reserves. The news helped boost the price of gold which has now reached a new record of $1660/oz
Michael Lewis of Deutsche Bank : Gold price seem to go up when the dollar is falling it goes up when the dollar is rising , people buy it on inflation protection and they buy on deflation protection it is almost in any economical environement it seems to go up , the environment for us is negative the real interest rates are weak , all of this is very favorable to Gold and think we are still going to go up I think the bubble number is beyond $2000/oz so we do have another 20 to 30 percent to go
Tom Cloud : If you look at going back from end of July 2001 to July 2011 Gold is going up 13 percent for every one percent the dollar is gone down , when the dollar goes back to 72 where it was in 2008 , Gold will be $2030 , if it drops to 70 Gold will be $2060 if the dollar drops to 68 it will be $3079 an ounce if it drops to 65 which a lot of economists are predicting by the end of next year Gold will be $4126 an ounce , I do not see why this relationship won't continues ....
Gold Hits Record High after the latest read on the economy came in weaker than expected. Insight on how one gold producer is posting profits, with Richard O'Brien, Newmont Mining president/CEO. "what i would say is what i said a while ago which is i think $1600 gold. i actually thought it might come next year but i think given some of the central government issues, not just here in the u.s. but around Europe, i think we're going to continue to see pressure on gold prices. i just remind all of your viewers that gold in nominal dollars actually from its high from many years ago, $800 would be over $2200. so while we talk about a record high, it's important to know its record in nominal dollars. i do think we continue to see a trend up. i think we're headed to $17.50 next year. i would readjust my estimate and i think we will continue to see pressure on gold prices for many years to come," Richard O'Brien said
James Turk : "It is hard to predict short term targets , all you need to be focusing on is to continue accumulating in this bull market and focus on where the bull market is going , itis always going to go much further than you expect it probably going to last longer than you and I expect and go higher than I expect , but just continue to accumulate , Gold should be higher than $2000 by now but because of the government intervention and anti gold propaganda by the government Gold is still undervalued even though the price have been rising it is still undervalued by all of my historical measures it is not quite as undervalued as it was ten years ago but it is still very undervalued because what's happening over the last ten years is that even though the price of gold has gone up the dollar has been debased by inflation and all kind of crazy things that the central banks and banks are doing to mismanage the dollar , so focus on the long term , focus not so much the price of gold but whether it is a gold value or not and it is a good value under numerical basis based on all my historical measures it is also good value because of its usefulness as a tangible asset , it is a monetary asset that does not have counter-party risk so I think that's important too"
"I am more bullish on Silver than I am on Gold that's why I think the ratio is going to go down to 20 ounces of silver to an ounce of Gold in the long term from 40 ounces of silver to one ounce of Gold at present , Silver will outperform gold , the problem with silver though is there is more volatility to it than it is to Gold and as a a consequence volatility is not for everyone but if you are prepared to accept that volatility I think you have two third of your assets your monetary assets your precious metals assets two thirds in Gold and one third in Silver

Bob Chapman : ...buy gold and silver coins bullion and shares because no matter what they do (on August the second ) it is going to be good for Gold , they will cut the social security , they are bound to kill everyone of the retirees . August is going to be an unusually good month for gold and silver , usually it is slow either flat slightly lower or much higher and the Fall is going to be incredible I think we can see $2200 on gold easy , and we can see $80 in silver easy , this is not going to stop , You got gold acting as the only real currency in the world and it is reflecting all the inflation not just in America , I mean Great Britain is 12 percent right now Europe is around 8 percent , who is kidding who ?, some dealers are having trouble now , so what happens in the fall ? the premiums on silver are as high as 8 dollars an ounce
Roger Wiegand : I think in Monday these characters in Washington will come to an agreement on the debt ceiling I think they will raise it and they will promise some cuts down the road that will never happen , but that will settle down these markets and I think in Monday we will see a pullback on gold and silver not very much but some and then after that it will flatten out and probably after ten days to two weeks we will start a new large rally the biggest one of the year will start in the middle of august till the end of August running all the way to thanks given , our goal is $1707 minimum
Gavin Wendt, Senior Resources Analyst at MineLife, expects gold to reach more record highs as investors continue to flee the U.S. dollar " If you have a look at Gold in inflation adjusted terms it is trading well below where it should be " "the gold rally is based on very very sound fundamentals it is has not been based on any leverage or borrowing which is typically what we see with regards to most bubbles , there a whole lot of leverage and borrowing involved " " we are looking at $2000/oz in the next 12 to 24 months "
We are in a secular bull market for Gold says Jay Taylor, President & CEO, Taylor Hard Money Advisors says gold prices will hit 1800 to 2000. what's going on in Washington does not give confidence to fiat money , Gold is set to go higher over time , $1800/oz to $2000/oz before the end of the year is a reasonable target ...
James Turk : I thinkGold got all the momentum behind it now , we have taking at the $1600 level and yet we have not even stopped there we sort of just moving right through it as if there was not any resistance at all , it is understandable why it is going up AL there are so many problems out there . monetary problems banking problems financial problems the sovereign debt crisis I could go on and on but you got the point , it is must better to own physical gold than it is to be involved in any national currencies at the moment
$1640 and $1650 within the next few days is a reasonable target there seem to be that much buying power behind it , so until anything changes worldwide in terms of improving the financial situation and that's not likely to happen any time soon you got to continue to hold gold and I think more and more people are starting to understand that which is why they are buying
Brenton Saunders, Director at Taurus Funds Management, says that Gold is not in any kind of bubble that Gold Bull run just started says Brenton Saunders because it is hopelessly under-owned , the biggest fund managers in the world , trust funds and central banks are trying to diversify away from what is hopelessly over owned US Treasuries and Forex and the reality is that the alternatives are quite limited , the obvious alternatives are things like the Euro the Yen the Pound and their respective fixed interest the reality is that these markets are not in great shape either ...the reality is that Gold is heavily under-owned in the institutional environment we know it is under owned in central banks environment
The Debt Deal won't stop the Price of Gold from rising , it might pause the price of Gold there might be a small correction but the problem is not resolved , it is very high level of debt that has enerved investors not only in America with the US Dollar but also in Europe where they have debt issues going on as well about bailing out Greece then Italy then Spain says Robert McEwen, of U.S. Gold , he expects $2000 by the end of the year and $4000 four years out
