Gold pogoes up

Oh, look (14:49), gold's sprung upwards (see sidebar widget) - nudging $800.

UPDATE: ... or rather, $838 (17:50).

An 11% gain since I flagged it up 6 days ago. But when should the short-term speculator sell? $850?

And in the comments to the same piece I said I was wondering what was holding stocks up. Now I know - nothing much. But there'll be a bear market rally shortly, doubtless.

Twice in the last week I've seen bull comemtators taunting goldbugs by asking, "Where are the $50 gold updays you promised when the financial tsunami strikes?"

As of now (15:40 hrs) we've just achieved this.

Amazing.

Could it be because of SEC:

you called it right a week or so back, Sackers

this is starting to restore my faith in the 'hedge-against-bad-news' thesis

which, since I anticipate quite a lot of bad news ...

IMHO, IMHO !

Probably just Future expectations of inflation!

Quite possibly, ACO. Looks like the General Theory of Relativity applies to stores of value, also.
