(The MOST IRONIC POST ever, from a GHPC thread ):

Ah yes, the luxury of having been right means time and money to do as one pleases.

On the other hand, the pain of having been wrong means endless toil to repay ones mistakes. I personally don't know how you bears find the time to post so relentlessly, like the undead - standing firm at all costs. Oh yes, it's because half the time is stolen from your employers......

LOL
This could be one of the most ironic posts ever- on this -the most ironic thread for it:
TITLE : "Now gold is hit hard : Don't panic DrBubb..."
- And the above TTRTR items was posted just as Gold surpassed $1,000 !!

Very well done, TTTTK!! (Time To Toss The Keys)
You are "fiddling while Rome burns'. Better get out and sell those massively
overvalued properties before they slide even further towards their real values

Hmm, I cannot attach charts on this thread.

Hmm, I cannot attach charts on this thread.

???

I can for you:

I can't help but to note again: This is a much more sustainable move than it was back in 2006. Much flatter on the log-scale. I do not expect a 2006-ish style correction.

Gold forecasts, 2008

examples:

Martin Murenbeeld / Dundee Economics,Vancouver
 Gold / Range: $775 – $1,015 / Average: $890

The factors we expect to drive gold higher number eight, and other than occasional shifts in importance
these haven’t changed in recent years.The most difficult factor to forecast is:

(1) the geopolitical one, which is partly responsible for the surge in price in late 2007-early 2008. I noted last year that
(2) the supply outlook is benign, whereas
(3) infrastructural demand developments in Asia are quite revolutionary in my opinion.This is
underscored by the opening of the Shanghai gold futures market. I continue to be a dollar bear:
(4) the dollar is seriously overvalued against the Asian currencies and must decline further. If/when it
does, we expect to see demand in Asia (already stimulated by growing wealth) increase more. Gold is still
very depressed on
(5) an inflation adjusted basis, so has upside room on this account. Dollar reserves in the world are ‘excessive’ and will
continue to be
(6) diversified. Oilproducing countries are benefiting from high oil prices and some of this wealth will find its way into
gold.The boom in commodity demand should continue, and while I don’t think gold is a ‘commodity’
as such, it will benefit indirectly.
Cycles
(7) in the gold price last many years, and gold is only in year seven. My ace-in-the-hole is
(8) monetary reflation: economic weakness would hurt the gold price were it not for expected
interest rate cuts and monetary infusions to alleviate credit-market problems. A financial crisis
would be dramatically positive for the gold price.

Our 2008 year-average would be higher were we not a little concerned about how the market
will handle a potential rise in the dollar versus the euro, if it came to that.Too much Fed focus on
‘inflation’ and not enough on ‘recession’ would also not benefit gold.


Ross Norman / TheBullionDesk.com, London

Gold Range: $840 – $1,250 / Average: $976

Following the stonking 30% rise in 2007, we remain manifestly bullish for gold prices and forecast that
the market is set for another bumper year in 2008. Many of the factors that have taken us to record
highs are likely to remain in play, but more so: specifically, accelerating investment demand of
gold ETFs, safe-haven buying on ongoing concerns about the stability of the economy – but
perhaps most importantly, rising inflation. Geopolitical tension may ease with the departure of Bush

from theWhite House, and indeed the dollar may have seen the largest part of its decline, which
could mitigate things. However, with mine supply remaining static, central bank sales comparatively
limited, and the demand side fundamentals looking positive, we believe further significant
gains are afoot with jewellery demand providing a welcome drag on runaway prices.

 Silver
Range: $14.93 – $18.80
Average: $16.75
So often in the shadow of gold,
silver has recorded impressive gains
over the last four years.As
primarily a by-product of base
metals mining, it remains
moderately price inelastic, and it
can expect rising mine production
based upon increases in production
of the host metals, primarily
copper. Silver’s price gains,
however, can be attributed to solid
demand-side investment, and that
appetite looks set to continue in
2008 as the race between the old
world and the emerging economies
to corner the world’s natural
resources intensifies... be it a mine
or simply physical metal.The fly in
the ointment may be the slowing
global economy and, more so than
in gold, this could signal a more
modest increase than in former
years.
