The Fed pumped (if I remember correctly) $38B into the US market on Friday. This seems to indicate to me that they are committed to continue propping up markets via inflation. As more dollars enter circulation, the price of everything (including gold) will tend to go up, all else equal.
If you are considering investing in gold, I would keep the following points in mind:
1. By my thinking, gold is not a capital creating investment. Building new factories, researching new products, developing new services and so forth are examples of investment that create capital. In this perspective, holding gold is does not create capital. However, an example of a gold investment that might create capital would be investing in a gold mine.
2. Gold is properly thought of more as a hedge against inflation. This is, of course overly simplistic. There are supply/demand factors affecting gold just like any other commodity. I think, however that many people purchase gold to hedge against the dollar. The value of your investment will therefore be linked to the dollar's performance.
3. By betting on gold, you are betting on the actions of central bankers. If the Fed stays committed to and succeeds in putting more dollars into circulation, the value of gold will tend to continue to rise. However, the Fed could change its game or (more likely) fail in its goal. In a deflationary environment, gold may perform very poorly (in dollar terms).
Personally, I do not currently invest in gold. That's not to say that it might not be a poor investment in the short term. I tend to think that it will be a great holding in the long run (as I am pessimistic about the dollar's future). As I amass more wealth, I do intend to put money into precious metals. However, I'm young, and I currently have decided to put my savings into capital creating investments.
I hope that this helps. |

Without a doubt. Gold prices fluctuate, but never take a dive like the stock market. Always a solid investment. And to Tim B, you are correct, but I hope you are not insinuating that our dollar is backed by gold any longer. If you believe this, try to find out how much gold our government has in the Federal Reserve. |

If you are asking b/c you want to invest....gold is always a good investment. If you invest, don't waste time on many little pieces. Buy a big, nice, solid gold piece and you will be happy you did. |

Silver is a better investment.
If you have at least $10,000 worth of gold, the coin store will need to send in your SS# to the IRS if you cash in the gold.
With silver, you can have millions of dollars worth of silver and the coin store won't ask you for your SS# because you won't have to pay taxes on it. |

Probably, we seem to thrive on inflation.
The higher the price of gold, the less spending power your dollar has. |

Yes, it will definitly go up! The reason is simple, lack of new gold mines, and opening of the gold market into new countries! With India and China economy skyrocketing, as well as the high oil prices is helping to fuel the demand of gold in middle east (oil producers) and Asia in general! So its easy to see that our supplies are limited while the demand is increasing. Also the low value of the US $ means that gold is becoming again a standard in investments... But in your place, I would not put all my eggs into the same basket! Copper is increasing faster as well as Iron (raise in steel price due to economic developments). But the REAL metal to check is the Molybdelum.... Very few mines and demand should skyrocket in the next few months... But this supposed to be a secret ;) |

To service the $9 trillion of debt, I think the US govt will have little choice but to print more money. This will cause inflation and hence, gold price will rise over time.
However, owning gold does not earn interest plus you have to pay storage fees, even if you buy a Gold ETF. IMHO, a better way to invest in gold for the long term is to buy stocks of gold mining companies. |

Yes it will dear. Count on it. ;) To Xeno: With the actual use of gold, there would be no inflation. Call it inflation proof if you so choose. I would stay as far away from the stock market as i could right now. I have a really bad feeling China is about to knock the US dollar's dick in the dirt here very shortly. |

No, while it does fluctuate, the price of gold is pretty much stable. Other than the fluctuations, gold hasn't change in value in well over 200 years. Of course paper money, backed by nothing will, and always has, lose value with respect to gold and in time always goes to zero. |

Just to correct one statement above: "Gold prices fluctuate, but never take a dive like the stock market."
From 1980 to 1982 the price of gold dropped from a high in 1980 of $850.00 to a low in 1982 of $296.75, so if your timing was exquisitely wrong, a loss of -65% of your capital.
Using the yearly average instead of the hi/low,
the average price of gold dropped from $612.74 in 1980 to a $375.80 in 1982, which would have been a loss of -39% of your capital.
Using either figure, that looks like a dive to me. |

You can see what gold has gone for all the way back to like the year 1500, and since that time, has probably been the WORST investment over time. WHY? Because when gold only averages a gain of like 1.8% a year and inflation averages 3%, you actually are losing money.
If you want to buy gold, use like 1% of your money for it as a 'safe bet' play, because that is about all it is.
For real returns you have to invest in companies -- ones that grow earnings over time and then you will have lots of money and be happy. |
