Gold

The political, financial, and economic trends show that virtually all of the coming changes will be very positive for gold. That’s not pie in the sky wishful thinking—it accurately describes the next stage of the gold market, something that will soon visit your portfolio. Consider these 7 likely changes on the horizon and how they will transform the gold market from flat and listless to exciting and profitable.

The correction in gold is approaching, or is at, its conclusion although gold could drop to $1000 before it’s done. That being said, however, further losses are looking less likely as the dollar has broken down from its parabolic uptrend and is vulnerable to a severe decline.

I believe those with patience will get the chance to buy gold a lot cheaper than current prices. Gold could be heading toward the $1,000 per troy ounce level - or lower - and that price may come in a fast and furious sell-off.

I'm with Buffett on real assets over paper, but on gold he's flat wrong...I guess Warren found crony capitalism in a fiat world was an easier way to get rich than hard work with honest money.

I put almost all of my eggs in one basket - precious metals, energy and agriculture - with the bulk being in precious metals 10 years ago. These investments are diversified only in that they span physical, geography and company size. What I did has stood the test of time and, I expect, will hold me in good stead whatever happens in the years to come. Let me explain why I thought it was a good idea back then and still think it is today.

Here are the predictions of all the pundits on record as to how high and how soon (with rationale as to why) gold is expected to go before the bubble bursts.
