Marcus Grubb, managing director of investment research at the World Gold Council, talks about the decline in the gold price and the demand outlook for the precious metal.
Age isn't stopping these miners from engaging in Mongolia's lucrative gold rush to support the black market demand for gold in China. Young adults, middle-aged men and women, and seniors alike are taking advantage of the surging gold demand in Asia.
Stocks in gold mining companies have lagged behind the price of bullion, but that's going to change thanks to Chinese hoarding of the precious metal, Wall Street Daily reports.
There are nine prevalent myths and false arguments that bankers and their puppet commercial investment firms have used to keep people from buying physical gold and physical silver over the years (remember the paper GLD and the paper SLV is NOT a proxy for physical gold and physical silver and from the information in the prospectuses, very likely nowhere near 100% backed by physical gold and physical silver as they claim).
The latest story regarding the problem with fake gold bars was released yesterday. A gold bar in the U.K. was discovered to be filled with an element other than gold...
Jan Skoyles asks why Germany and Switzerland are requesting their gold from the United States considering their monetary policies. The repatriation of gold is a growing topic of interest since Venezuela demonstrated how much value they place on their gold reserves. With escalating gold prices, growing gold investment demand and faltering Western economies is it any wonder German and Swiss politicians are asking where their gold is.
We've heard it all from the Dr. Doom, economist Marc Faber. He likes to buy physical gold... And what's not to like about the yellow metal? We've seen highs in prices consistently throughout the past ten years, including last year's $1,900/oz. spike. But, as Faber warns, there is a catch: the U.S. government can and may seize privately held gold.
Have you ever had any doubts about gold? Does it sometimes feel like it should be performing better? Are you concerned about its volatility? Do you worry about how it might perform in the future? Have you ever wondered about its true purchasing power? Maybe you're nervous about a big drop in price again? I decided to go directly to the source to address these concerns: Gold himself. He put his arm around me and asked me to tell you a few things…
So those militant crazies known to the mainstream media as "gold bugs" – and to the FBI as subversives – got the headline they've been longing for, apparently, last week.
"China central bank in gold-buying push," declared the Financial Times. "It does appear the People's Bank of China has been a significant buyer," agreed a Reuters columnist.
India's love for gold is almost a religion. Beyond being a symbol of wealth and status, gold is part of worship and culture - a tradition that goes back thousands of years. From birth to death, for men and women, among rich and poor - acquiring gold is a goal for the people of India.
This year our screens, radio and the media in general will be dominated by politics as electioneering goes into overdrive in a massive attempt to convince us that their man has all the answers. Alas, the political machinery has long since lost our respect, but that will not deter them and so we must endure this attack on our senses from all directions.
After prices fell 10 percent in December, many investors wondered if the bull market in gold was running out of steam. That was before Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke swooped in with a “red cape” and fired the bulls back up. Since the Fed reassured the world that interest rates will remain at “exceptionally low levels” for another two years, gold has jumped more than three percent.
Due to the latest phenomena in China, some experts are calling this the “Gold Era”.
The Chinese are buying gold in record numbers and the trend has been increasing exponentially within the past year as the race for wealth-guarding picks up pace.
On Tuesday, China reported GDP growth of 8.9 percent in the last quarter of 2011, which is the slowest growth increase in more than two years. Although analysts were only expecting growth of 8.7 percent, the slowdown gave investors hope that the world’s second largest economy will inject more stimulus into its economy to fuel growth. As a result, gold jumped $24 to climb above $1,650 per ounce, while silver surged 60 cents to settle above $30 per ounce. However, investors should reign in expectations of more stimulus being unleashed in China during the early part of 2012.
Right now you need to understand that gold is beginning the twelfth year of major bull market; perhaps the most unprecedented bull market in our lifetime. Here's a quick snapshot of what that bull market has looked like since the 1999 bottom and the 2001 retest of that bottom:
