How Will Gold Perform in the Coming Equity Crash?

Capt - With all due respect for your usual feedback, i come for the dialog as much as the answers... In fact, the more assertive the 'answers', the more likely i am to discount them.

To me it's all about the variables and their interactions, and the usual tone at SA is much like having chips and a beer with investing buddies.

but that's just me.

I enjoyed the article as thought provoking. My feeling is that dollar weakness will indeed show a different signature on the gold graphs if/when this rally turns. With 50 articles, 25 each for inflation/deflation that all make sense... I'm holding gold, but not sure (beyond my gut) why... :^)

good choices to all,

How Does One Value Gold?

As arbitrary as it seems, gold has both history and women's taste working for it... best not to underestimate either force over the long term :^)

Given that every government of note out there has some, and doesn't want it to become worthless over the long-term, it seems a lot less vulnerable to the intra-country bickering that currencies and other investment vehicles are going through right now.

All value is context sensitive (food vs gold when you're hungry), and as much as gold might *not* be worth, it "seems" a better option than a lot of the other options out there. Too bad most of us have been relegated to "seems" investing. Odd times.

Gold: The Only Remaining Bubble?

While I enjoy your gold commentaries as interesting (and gutsy on SA) alternative views, I submit with due respect that if you call on gold's demise for long enough, you will eventually be right...

Coming Inflation To Boost Stocks, Gold

DVW,

Inflation across all currencies is an equalizer of sorts, but ends up robbing all citizens of their respective wealth equally. Regardless of the denomination, an excess of currency chasing fixed items will result in inflated prices for those items - regardless. I don't believe that it is a "currency relative" phenomena.
