Gold to Move Substantially Higher
by Joe Battaglia
Posted: March 27, 2008
Gold and silver are
lower this morning but have moved up well off of their lows. The key futures contract in gold continues
to hold above $950 and silver, while down $.17 is still at $18.21 an
ounce. Oil is up about $.10 at $105.98,
retreating from a high of $107.70 after fighting in Basra resulted in the
explosion of a major oil shipment pipeline.
The dollar has rebounded slightly from yesterday's heavy losses, up 7
basis points at 71.58.
Analysts reported
that a fund sold 500 contracts in gold to take some profits. It is interesting that the market absorbed
that quite well and continues to want to move higher according to the Dow Jones
News Wire. The source told Dow Jones
that the selling was possibly spurred by the stronger dollar this morning. Ross Norman says that the correction we saw
over the past two weeks is a positive factor as some of the speculative froth
has been taken out of the market. He
also said that gold looks set to make its way higher with $970 an ounce as the
key immediate target.
Yesterday, we
commented that a number of analysts see gold moving substantially higher. Eric Sprott a noted fund manager said he sees
the financial turmoil pushing gold to $2,000 an ounce. UBS Bank's analyst Tony Lesiak told the
Financial Post that he sees gold as well positioned for growth and that it
could potentially double in price.
Investment manager Blackrock, which the government has charged with the
responsibility of assisting in the liquidation of Bear Sterns, says they see
gold in a continuing gradual rising trend, which could lift gold to new highs
above the precious record of $1,030 an ounce.
Joe Foster who manages two of the Van Eck family of funds, says that
gold may hit $2,000 in the next several years.
These are all prominent analysts who believe that the conditions are in
place for the precious metals to make substantial moves to the upside. That is especially true for gold.

rebounded about $50 from the lows. It

Investors should be mindful that past performance does not guarantee future results. Transaction costs are generally 5%
to 7% on bullion and 30% to 35% on coins. This is also referred to as the spread, or the difference between the buy price
and the sell price. The market must go up enough to overcome this spread before an actual profit is achieved. All markets go
up and down. Coins are a long-term, three- to five-year investment, suitable for 5% to 10% of the average portfolio. Please
see Goldline's Risk and Disclosure Statement for further details.
