With uncertainty in the stock market and the housing industry over the last year created by a sluggish economy and the decline in the dollar, gold and oil continue to rise at a historical rate. While the Brent crude oil price creeps to $100 per barrel, gold peaked at nearly $953 per ounce today, it's highest in history.... until tomorrow. Gold prices have been on a steady incline since mid August of 2007 when it was roughly $650 per oz.
Investors who last year were speculating that the price of gold would reach over $1000 with-in a year weren't to far off, observing the current level. New estimates are hinting that gold may elevate to much more than that 1K mark with-in the next 6 months.
VIEW POINT:
In 2007 when I heard that the price of gold was about to double, I decided the best way for me personally to invest in gold was to purchase a mining claim, rather than buying gold coin.
I'm now constantly watching the price of gold and I have a fair idea of where it is headed. So... thought I might share, with those who care, my un-scientific predictions along with view points of other gold watchers and current market prices. Starting Monday.
