Quote from noddyboy:
GDXJ up another 1.6%.
Gold screams shortage -- just read in the local newspaper of jewelers asking you to cash in your gold. This is a shortage not a bubble.
It is a bubble when people start putting their live savings in gold and hide it in a vault. Or when China sells treasuries and buys gold.
Historical backtests showing that gold under performs does not scream bubble either. The dot coms were the king of the hill before the crash. The returns of gold has not been that great.
This does not mean gold will not correct or that it will become a bubble, but as long as there is shortage, there is opportunity to the upside.
