Why Has Gold Been Down?
Is Gold Washed Up?
While stocks lost 12%, gold rose about 10%. For the 11th year in a row (we’ve lost track) our “sell stocks/buy gold” formula paid off. Between falling stocks and rising gold there’s a spread of 22%. Not bad.

Will 2012 Be The Return of Gold Stocks?
The fact that gold producers are paying a dividend on gold stocks is worth exploring. First, it means gold producers have cash flow. Now whether or not the best use of free cash flow is to return it to shareholders instead of pouring it into new exploration is for the punters to decide. But the fact is, gold is set to finish higher for the 11th straight year.

Gold… Selling is the Hardest Part
Ten years ago, everyone on the planet knew gold was a “Sell.” (Incidentally, everyone also knew that JDS Uniphase and Pets.com were “Buys.”) Investors scorned it. Central bankers sold it.

Greatest Economic Disaster in Recorded History
“The coming great inflation will destroy America’s economic leadership. It will lead – eventually – to the return of settling international obligations in gold instead of paper dollars. And this will happen much faster than anyone expects.

After failing to breach $930, this collapse marked the third step lower from March’s all-time high of $1,032.

With the Dow Jones index dipping below 9,000 last week, the price of gold held near $850 an ounce – at least until last Thursday’s AM Gold Fix in London. (It’s since lost $100; more in a moment.)

Why Choose Gold When Real Interest Rates Sink?
You can link the historic surge in gold prices starting mid-August 2007 to many apparently disparate things. Pick the right link, and you might be able to tell whether it’s worth you buying or holding gold today. One such link is the price of money, as decided by the US Federal Reserve. Gold’s stellar 58% gain in the seven months starting 18th August began with the Fed’s first change to US interest rates in 18 months…
