Gold Reaches New All Time Record Highs

Posted: October 6, 2009

The Independent Newspaper out of London reported today that the OPEC oil producers are planning to accept currencies other than the dollar and gold for their oil.  They also said that Russia, China and others were looking at abandoning the dollar as the principal pricing mechanism for oil.  That has since been denied, but it focused attention on the dollar's reserve currency status and is very positive for gold, said Dow Jones Wire Service.  They also said that any further such rhetoric about abandoning the dollar would keep underpinning gold.

This caused gold to shoot up to new all time record highs.  That movement in the gold market triggered buy stops and Dow Jones Wire Service reported that funds are among the buyers, according the George Gero, Vice President of RBC Capital.  Gold posted a record high of $1,038 on the December contract and is still trading very close to that level.  Silver reached a high of $17.26 and is still trading very close to that, up $.69.  The dollar is down 21 basis points at 76.43 and oil is up $.85 at $71.26 a barrel.  Other commodities are likewise higher.  The Dow Industrials are also moving higher, up 110 points as it is widely expected that a weaker dollar and beggar-thy-neighbor currency policies will be the juice to fuel the export market and perhaps help improve the U.S. economy.  However, we must also be aware that it is the kind of situation going on at the moment that is destructive of the wealth and savings of the middle class.  As the dollar falls, it is destroying buying power.  This is one of the key reasons why so much money is moving into the gold market.

I have been talking about this for years.  All of the things that I have been forecasting for you are now occurring.  I was surprised to hear analysts on CNBC saying this morning that the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency is coming into serious question.  Many were discussing the potential for a very aggressive decline in the dollar.  They also said that at the G20 meeting the participants were very concerned about the reserve status of the dollar and enormous deficits that are being built up by the U.S. government. 

Many analysts have forecast that once gold pushes above $1,033 on a close, that it will quickly move to $1,100 an ounce.  Some analysts including Fortis Bank and others have been forecasting that gold could reach a high of $1,200 or more this year.  This is the kind of development that could cause gold to move to $1,100 quickly and then on to $1,200 or perhaps higher in the near-term.  Just in the last few days, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch said they see gold moving to $1,500 over the next couple of years.  Other major analysts are offering similar views.  In fact, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch said on Monday, that they recommend gold and other assets as part of a defensive posture.  Those recommendations tie in closely with a falling dollar. 

On October 1st, Dow Jones reported a headline that said: "Gold Heading For $1,100 - $1,200 By Year-End."  Deutche Bank sees gold above $1,100 in the coming year.  I have said that is probably a conservative forecast.  Another analyst from the Gold Report said, peak gold and a weak dollar means $2,000 plus.  Jim Sinclair is forecasting gold at $5,000.  Whether these lofty levels are reached remains to be seen.  However, it is clear that the path for gold is higher and that investors who have been accumulating gold are doing quite well.

^{You should carefully read Goldline's Account and Storage Agreement and our risk disclosure booklet, Coin Facts for Investors and Collectors to Consider. These provide important information that you should consider before investing in precious metals. Goldline's spread, which is the difference between the price we sell our products and the price we buy them back, generally ranges between 5% to 20% on our most common bullion products and 30% to 35% on all other products including our popular semi-numismatic coins such as the European francs, proof coins and graded coins. The market must go up enough to overcome this spread before an actual profit is achieved. All markets go up and down. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Coins are a long-term, three- to five-year, preferably five- to ten-year investment. We believe precious metals are suitable for 5% to 20% of the average portfolio though others may recommend a different percentage.
