Since gold's peak back in the fall of 2011, investors have been trying to let us know what the yellow metal is going to do next.
Some forecast a plummet in price immediately, others played it safe.

There are nine prevalent myths and false arguments that bankers and their puppet commercial investment firms have used to keep people from buying physical gold and physical silver over the years (remember the paper GLD and the paper SLV is NOT a proxy for physical gold and physical silver and from the information in the prospectuses, very likely nowhere near 100% backed by physical gold and physical silver as they claim).

Jan Skoyles asks why Germany and Switzerland are requesting their gold from the United States considering their monetary policies. The repatriation of gold is a growing topic of interest since Venezuela demonstrated how much value they place on their gold reserves. With escalating gold prices, growing gold investment demand and faltering Western economies is it any wonder German and Swiss politicians are asking where their gold is.

We've heard it all from the Dr. Doom, economist Marc Faber. He likes to buy physical gold... And what's not to like about the yellow metal? We've seen highs in prices consistently throughout the past ten years, including last year's $1,900/oz. spike. But, as Faber warns, there is a catch: the U.S. government can and may seize privately held gold.

Have you ever had any doubts about gold? Does it sometimes feel like it should be performing better? Are you concerned about its volatility? Do you worry about how it might perform in the future? Have you ever wondered about its true purchasing power? Maybe you're nervous about a big drop in price again? I decided to go directly to the source to address these concerns: Gold himself. He put his arm around me and asked me to tell you a few things…

This year our screens, radio and the media in general will be dominated by politics as electioneering goes into overdrive in a massive attempt to convince us that their man has all the answers. Alas, the political machinery has long since lost our respect, but that will not deter them and so we must endure this attack on our senses from all directions.

After prices fell 10 percent in December, many investors wondered if the bull market in gold was running out of steam. That was before Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke swooped in with a “red cape” and fired the bulls back up. Since the Fed reassured the world that interest rates will remain at “exceptionally low levels” for another two years, gold has jumped more than three percent.

On Tuesday, China reported GDP growth of 8.9 percent in the last quarter of 2011, which is the slowest growth increase in more than two years. Although analysts were only expecting growth of 8.7 percent, the slowdown gave investors hope that the world’s second largest economy will inject more stimulus into its economy to fuel growth. As a result, gold jumped $24 to climb above $1,650 per ounce, while silver surged 60 cents to settle above $30 per ounce. However, investors should reign in expectations of more stimulus being unleashed in China during the early part of 2012.

I am increasingly confident that the consequences of fragile sovereign debt, precious metals marketmanipulation, insufficient physical supply, and the need for a safe haven investment refuge, will contribute to rampant price inflation and drive precious metals bullion and mining stock to a parabolic peak price of $10,000 sometime in 2012 or 2013 at the latest.

MOST PEOPLE who follow gold know the metal has a seasonal tendency to perform better in the fall and winter than in the spring and summer. Indeed, since 2001, the annual high for the Gold Price has occurred after Labor Day every year except two (2006 and 2008). Further, that peak was hit in November or December in seven of the last ten years, writes Jeff Clark, editor of Big Gold at Casey Research.

Over the last few years we have seen some amazing developments occur in the global financial sector none of which are good or encouraging. The sovereign debt debacle in the Eurozone threatens the very existence of the euro as well as many banks. And, it is no news that the US is technically bankrupt. But, what amazes me more than anything else is the action taken by so called financial regulators, politicians and leading banking officials around the world.
