Misinterpretation of Gold Lease Rates and Why Gold Could Rise

Good points Brian,

When the market manipulation ends (after the US election) and
demographic patterns take hold (buying behavior changes as baby
boomers retire - starting in 2009) you will find no one will be
seeking the US dollar or EURO and gold and silver will be in great
demand.

If history is a guide, gold will be steadily advancing in the coming
months, once the hedge fund-liquidation ends; and when foreign
governments stop propping up the dollar to help the incumbent party
during November's US election. The recent back-sliding is not because
of the some inherent flaw in gold investing, but because hedge funds
and (some) government manipulation (keep people in dollars effort) are
selling... and selling big! Hedge funds are selling to cover margin
calls and short positions... and to retrieve cash for those bailing
out of their once precious multi-trillion dollar funds.

Here is what will happen in the coming six months. Once the election
is over (Nov), foreign governments will not be supporting a strong US
dollar policy. Instead they will be retaining gold and silver to
hedge against the coming economic winter and the falling reserve
currency (USD). Hedge funds will complete most of there short selling/
covering calls by the end of November... and to satisfying client exit-
demands (look for a few more periods when options expire). Then as
the US government and others inflate their currencies and try to
Keynesian-spend their way out of this economic down turn (Thanksgiving
through Spring), look for gold and silver to reach it's all time high
(I'm forecasting February highs).

Keep the faith!

Misinterpretation of Gold Lease Rates and Why Gold Could Rise

Lets not forget that Merrill has predicted that gold should hit $1,500 within the next few years. I will state that I am a bull on gold. Why? From Econ 101, I know that with a substantial increase in the money supply.. will result in inflationary pressures. With inflation our current fiat currency will be worth less and less. We will continue to experience uncertainty in our economy? Where will people go? To gold, not only to preserve wealth but to preserve one's mental state of being.
