Gold Below $500 an Ounce?

Gold today is nowhere near bubble status just because there may be many ads on TV trying to get people to turn gold into cash. This current fall in the price of gold isn’t the popping of a bubble because of a temporary dollar rise either. Anyone who understands the economics of it all knows this.

As is typical of those who try and criticize gold as a necessary ingredient of a well diversified portfolio, they use flawed analysis in coming to their conclusion. This article will go into depth as to why their analysis is flawed in my continued effort to bring the truth about gold to the public.

I had been cautioning gold investors that the U.S. dollar price of gold breaking to new highs needed a confirmation of the dollar index breaking to new lows. The fact that it didn’t even break the March 2008 lows of just under 72, let alone 74, showed there is still some perceived strength in the dollar and that a reversal was possible.

In my continued exposure of those who write articles that misrepresent gold I’ve run across an article written recently by former Ronald Reagan chief economic adviser and current Harvard Economics Professor, Martin Feldstein called “Is Gold a Good Hedge?”
I will dissect Feldstein’s article that is full of what I believe to be deliberate misinformation to confuse readers as to what gold truly represents in today’s economic and investment climate.

The advice from Dave Ramsey is to “only invest in something that has a good long-term track record.” Well Dave, in case you didn’t know, gold has over a 5,000 year track record. Is that a long enough track record for you?
The U.S. Dollar on the other hand has only a 38 year track record without gold backing.

Recent purchasers of Gold are upset lately with the 8.5% drop in the U.S. Dollar price of gold this week. But what most of these buyers don’t understand is that gold stayed the same. It was what gold is priced in that changed.
That’s right. Gold is just a shiny rock as all the Gold naysayers like to say. It didn’t change in the last week. It’s still a shiny rock. But the U.S. Dollar appreciated of late thus causing the U.S. Dollar price of Gold to fall. To understand this further read on…

Trading Gold In EURO’s Instead of Dollars Now Making Sense

23 days ago I wrote an article Trade Gold In EUROS Instead of Dollars? Switching May Make Sense Soon where I presented the case that the GDP of the Eurozone didn’t support the appreciation the EURO was receiving over the U.S. Dollar, which also was experiencing lousy GDP numbers. It was the fact that the EURO was approaching its all-time highs against the U.S. Dollar that made no sense.

There were two negative articles on gold today that were filled with misinformation. While gold has been getting hit lately, something I have been cautioning traders about recently, it is expected that the gold bashers would come out of the woodwork. But the problem lies with the flawed analysis these journalists are utilizing in drawing their conclusions.
