Barclays: Gold to hit $1500 per ounce by may

gold price has became a bubble as of late.

it reminds me of the dot com bubble in 2000. All IB's were predicting that the nasdaq would reach 10k by the year end. and yet...

just keep in mind that many people will lose lots of money with this bubble like in any other bubble.

Or perhaps it's like the seventies where goldstocks moved up 1000% to +10000% and more.

Who knows right.

Then you should short the stockmarket.:)

I should! And when I see signs that it has topped, I might do so. Not going to get in front of the Fed.

Just because something is overpriced does not mean it won't stay overpriced.

You touch an important issue here.

Have governments and central banks over the years gained more control over the markets making it harder to predict future trends based on the past or do you believe no one Goldman Sachs et al included can conquer the laws of fysics?

It's a though call.:)

Goldman Sachs, Fed, it's all one in the same in this context.

They continue to manipulate prices up because of whatever strategy they see they need to work. There's no way I can stand in front of that train, so I won't until I see some catalyst that forces a change. If I miss the absolute top, boo-hoo, but I won't be dragged along the underside of the bus in the interim. I'll just sit it out and make scalps in risk currencies/gold/silver until it's done.

The one thing that is a cold hard fact is that they cannot manipulate this forever.

Good article, but here are his three points:

The stock market has also performed well of late, and equities would not thrive if the economy were weaker than expected or if deflation were a bigger-than-expected threat. So, in essence, the stock market is betting that gold is right and bonds are wrong.
More...

This would suggest the equity market is correct. Based on fundamental data, valuation models, technical analysis, whatever you want, equities are bubblish and rather silly at these levels. Furthermore the author states "equities would not thrive if the economy were weaker than expected or if deflation were a threat". Oh yeah? Does the author take into account massive asset price manipulation in the attempt to reflate?

Bond market sentiment is at near-record levels of bullishness right now, and (according to contrarians) the consensus is rarely right. ( Read my September 15 column on bond market sentiment.)
More...

What about the levels of equity bullishness? And gold itself? Is not everyone and their mom long gold right now? But the author refuses to use the same argument on gold saying the consensus is rarely right.


Sentiment among gold timers is remarkably restrained, if not outright gloomy, suggesting that there is a strong "wall of worry" for a bull market in gold to continue climbing.

What? Gold timers?
