scalf, since it was a full moon out do you think the rise in gold prices were because of that. or is that too simple.

supposedly if gold stays above 330 banks take a bath on derivatives and there goes the ballgame.

is it really a six year high. wow. but one big reason gold goes up is the opposite of what you might think. you would think gold goes up in times of uncertanty and that is true and it should go up in inflation, as its a hard asset. but the reason it mostly rises is when interest rates are looking to stay low. that is because then it is cheap to hold gold for speculation.

Don't forget the value of the dollar in this. Gold is bought on world markets at dollar rates and as the dollar sinks, gold becomes cheaper for foreigners, who tend to buy more gold anyways. The biggest driver of this IMO is lack of other investment alternatives. Few have talked about this as much as I have, but people have to put their money somewhere. What is the point of putting it into 2% bonds? I think gold and real estate have become viable and bubblish just for this reason. People pulled money out of the market and had to put it somewhere and in vogue right now is the idea of going into gold because real estate has become inflated in many people's view. Just remember people have the investment bug bad, chasing big returns wherever. The idea that "uncertainty" is causing the gold run-up seems ridiculous. After all short of expecting all out nuclear war, what good is gold? Even if a recession hits, what value will gold have? None really. Its just rotation of money into momentum plays if you ask me.
