Gold broke $1600 mark, Silver is new gold topping $45+

I cannot stop but talk about Gold when I was wondering what to write for this month blogs. Gold is dominating the market news these days because it broke the $1600 mark and made another record this week. It has gone up from $1500+ mark to $1600+ in just  2 months which is 6% increase in this period.  If some one would have invested $1500 2 months, they might have earned 6% return in just 2 months. That’s really high rate of return because of the current market condition and high speculation.




With uncertain looming in the US debt crisis, Greece economy situation still unsettling, Oil price increasing, Investors doesn’t have a strong feeling about stock markets all over the world and playing it low. That makes the commodity prices to shoot up and Gold is on top of it. Silver has become the new gold for many people who cannot invest in gold because of the high price.

If you still decide or plan to invest in Gold, just watch out for signs and do it diligently. Many analyst are still predicting Gold will hit $2000 mark by end of this year. It is possible if the economic uncertainity prevails but as an investor, its an high price invest so try to do your investing carefully by doing more research.

What’s the deal with Gold?

Last time when I wrote about Gold, it was almost 2 months ago and Gold was trading above $1500, may be $1550 or so. As of today, it is trading in and around $1520 range. It hasn’t moved much but obviously has seen some high trends on certain days but came back down later. What happend to all the hype about Gold going to $1750-$2000 by end of this year. Nobody knows how the market reacts because it’s is not easy predictable job otherwise everyone can make thousands and become millionaire. That’s where all the probability and possibility plays the role and makes it tough.

With the recent economical condition with slow growth rate, double dip housing prices in many states, unemployment still lingering around 9% and up, rental market is going up which is a sign for great inflation to come and dollar to lose its value. You can expect Gold to gain more ground and increase in value. On the other hand, currently interest rate is less and inflation is staying low, dollar is strengthening against many currency which can all point to the down trend for Gold. No one never know the right path where Gold is going to head.

I recently read an article at investopedia.com in which the author took 5 possible conditions which signs the Gold has peaked and might not have a chance to go up.

He took the end of QE2, World Gold council comments, low inflation, strengthening of Dollar and too much demand with high level of speculation into consideration and talked in detail to come up with the conclusion. Check it out and make your own conclusion and do invest accordingly.

Happy Gold Harvesting!!!
