Gold still hasn't passed an all time high reached a piffling 37 years ago adjusted for inflation.
I hope all these tossers who pump it constantly reimburse their audience when it just sits there and doesn't do much as usual.
That's a general history.
In the second of the two sites in the post directly above your post, even though it is a sales site, it has some interesting info. It seems that March 31 is the date that it becomes legal for Muslims to own gold. It also seems that there are a bunch of Muslims who would like to own gold.
Who knows what will happen? But...
1. 1.5 billion Muslims are a lot of Muslims.
2. And the ones that will want to own gold are the ones that can afford it.
3. To top this off, there isn't enough gold to go around now.
4. In addition, most of the gold presently owned is owned on paper with no gold to back it.
5. But Muslims don't want to hold paper; they want to own the actual metal.
What does this suggest? A big shortage of actual metal. The people who hold gold paper, will want their real gold when they realize that there isn't any backing their paper. The paper will become useless, but the value of the metal will rise with the shortage.
Again, nobody knows the future. But a shortage of anything that people want means an increase in value of it... and often a dramatic, super-fast increase. Consider Bitcoin, from pennies less than a decade ago.
