Wed, 29 Oct 2008 02:32:52 +0000 http://www.thesunsfinancialdiary.com/?p=2617#comment-45870 [...] So what happened to gold? Has it bottomed out, as this article on Goldprice.org indicated? If you are interested, here’s a free video presentation from INO TV explaining the movement of gold price recently. The analyst in the video also says gold is currently oversold and due for a rebound. A rebound seems to be a sure thing, in short term at least, as it happened following some significant drops before. For the long term, I am still looking at gold as an alternative investment that provides diversification to my portfolio, though I don’t exactly use gold as a hedge against inflation.

Supply & demand does not justify the higher gold. There was no sudden decrease in supply and most of the gold trading is done on paper. So yes, there was a high demand to evaluate a real commodity but it is on paper. That is a bubble. Once people leave, the price will plunge back to actual commodity level. for those who are hoarding real gold, the premise is unsound, because the doomsday scenario places a high value on precious metals when there is no reason that people would use gold as a means of currency. plus, you would then have a revaluation of gold to that of services and goods, which is not going to be anywhere near the value which is placed on it now. if you want a different paper hedge, then buy TIPs.
