    A lot of people taking their money out of the market and looking for a place to put it. Bonds used to run up real high when people were pulling from the market, but many are afraid of bonds now also. Many are moving to cash and buying gold/silver.

    The wise thing to do if yur an ivestor is to just sit out until everything settles down then analyze the new market... but obviously they couldn't wait for some reason....essentially theyre really just gambling wildly because this is the most unpredictable fukking thing ive ever seen

    I would buy copper instead. You can buy 7000 pounds of copper for the amount you would spend on one pound of gold.

    It's a gambling market now
    So many just gambling as opposed to years ago when most had no access to point and click trading and professional trading programs that are very cheap,

    The Internet ruined financial markets

    Gold is the only universal currency. Historically.

    Wars were fought over it. It was actually used as currency in most of the major civilizations in history.

    When Fiat money fails, the world returns to the one thing that over time, has had a value in terms of currency and is readily available. Gold has been the standard for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Hence why when economies go down, people always say buy gold. Which has been happened for several years now.

    silver was a super great investment for people who got it 2 years ago when was $10/oz. Silver is a better investment for people not having money to buy gold by ounce. In the long run both metals (gold and silver) share pretty much the same odds of going up or down. anyway, in the last 6 months silver made 100% profits, for whoever sold when it reach the $46/oz price...

    Gold is very high because of the demand and the historic appeal of protecting the wealth, but after all it's just a useless piece of metal. In the long run platinum is a much safer bet, at any sign of economic recovery it will go up. Platinum is stable around $1700/1800 in the last 6 months.

    Hard to make sense out of market anymore - stock beat earning estimates with neutral/positive outlook at the damn thinks drops. Stocks miss earnings and go up.

    It's not rocket science. Precious metals (mainly gold) have always been the universal currency since the beginning of time. When confidence is low and a nation's currency is about to take a shit and become worthless or atleast signifigantly devalued, people always turn back to precious metals, hence continuing to drive the price higher. Any country's currency is just a monetary instrument that can go up or down or crash and come completely worthless at any time. That's why the smart ones continue to buy commodities like gold that will always be universally accepted. Think for instance if the US substained a massive nuclear attack tommorrow and 90% of the country was destroyed and it was total chaos and anarachy. Do you really think you would be able to get the supplies you need to survive with US dollars or with a stock portfolio? Not a chance. The dollar would only be good for toilet paper at that point....literally. Gold, silver, platinum would be the only instruments accepted

    Hardly the case. Do you have any idea how many industrial uses gold has because of it's unique qualities? It is a completely indestructible material. We would have never been able to go into space without it.

    silver is being regulated big time with the margin requirements, they basically kicked the small investor out, thats why its still staying between 35-40


    gold is going to 2000+
