    Gold will keep rising.

    And interesting interview with technical explanations, trends included:



    The dollar will probably take a dip, but I'm unsure this will happen soon... for several SOLID reasons:
    - the Euro looks weak, so anything affecting it will make investors/common people run towards the Dollar
    - China: again, some running from the Yuan will buy the Dollar (and other currencies), so again, the Dollar wins
    - the Dollar has been rising and people keep buying it (including in the Euro zone) for savings (obviously gold is less common for those people)
    - the Dollar is still backed by the US economy, which is very strong (even if recession occurs, it will be stronger than the Bulgarian Lev or the Thai Baht), meaning that other fiat currencies are WORSE
    - most countries in the world hold US Treasuries/Bonds as "reserves" (they keep these as "emergency" foreign currency reserves), even if the dollar is becoming sell popular, this is happening rather slowly...
    - the Russian-Western political crisis is affecting Europe more (Europe being closer to Russia, it's negatively affected, while the US is positively affected: the sell arms to Europe and they benefit indirectly by sharpening the political crisis between Russia and Europe)

    ...so, for a while I see the dollar benefiting by other bricks falling first...

    <<< unless something severely shakes the US economy (e.g. stock market crash, long-term decrease of US industrial production, some sort of oil crisis etc.)

    Gold is has take off now. With smaller bumps, but I'm confident it will rise this time. It's abrupt.

    Gold is no longer "testing the cold water with the toes", it's jumping in!

    GREED and FEAR are both fuels now.

    What I like about Peter Schiff is that he honestly advises people to wait until gold pulls back and then buy gold.
    (other traders will tell you to just buy buy buy buy buy... even when it's up)

    Listen at 52:52



    Watch for 1,400 $. I can imagine trading slightly sideways in October, but prolly late-September will bring a good buying opportunity.

    Still holding back. I’m looking to buy another batch of gold at $1450 but if the Saudis retaliate against Iran, I’m not sure if it will happen this month. Let’s watch.

    Armstrong says gold could go way down to 1,350 $. And prolly even a bit lower (just above 1,300 $).

    I don't know about that, but here comes October! (I'm expecting a substantial dip)

    I hope so but I think we have seen most of the correction pass already.

    Even a beginner who is just learning to read charts can see that the "zig-zag" this year has been rather upwards: more upwards than downwards.
    It's going up and slumping a bit, then going up higher.

    Look at the screenshot below: March-May - it went down, but then shot upwards.
    We are witnessing a similar "slump" now. It will keep going down for a while, I think. Personally I don't think it will go below 1,400 $. But 1,300 $ is
    possible in case strong bearish forces drag it down, but I only give that a 20 % possibility.

    This is my personal belief :)

    I 100% believe that in your life time that Gold will not even buy a piece of bread,and this will happen far far sooner than you might imagine :(

    Yes I 100% believe that things are going to that bad :eek:

    But saying that would I buy more gold - yes I would :)

    Call me crazy but don't call me late for dinner :D

    Still waiting for gold to break support. Silver gave a bit of a tease last night but has since fallen again.

    If $1480 breaks ... We may get a sniff at $1430. The longterm chart is indicating a strong move up, so I have my plan in place if TPOG hits my targets

    So then now is the time to buy, shouldn't wait for 1480 to break. Not much difference between 1480 and 1430...some forecast 1375 but it doesn't seem as likely as it did a couple weeks ago.

    The problem with that is if the POG does break $1430 then its lookout below to a very good possibility $1350 'ish

    I wouldn't be trying to guess a low here, it almost never works, if you are interested in buying for long term gain just buy.

    Your guess is as good as mine.

    I agree. Average in buying is the best way here. Most of my gold from bullion dealers was bought awhile back. But since the recent uplift I decided I wanted more. So while the price was higher than I had ever paid before, I was picking up 2 ounces day by day at KJC or ABC (in Sydney). There's now a big price difference between the 2 btw... so my preference is KJC despite previous bad staff experience (still like to see both open for business yeah?).

    Are you serious?

    Why do you think that? (I can guess, but I want to hear it from you)

    And if gold won't buy bread during your lifetime, then why would you still buy it?

    If it's going to be that bad, then why not buy canned food, water, biscuits...? :)
