| One of the things I often do with this blog is to attempt to decipher some of the tougher concepts expressed by Another and FOA. I try to get into their heads and figure out what they really meant so that I can rephrase it in a way that (to me at least) is easier to understand. This is one of those posts.

GOLD PRICE TO SNAP BACK  |
|
In contrast to the closing months of 2011, gold has begun the new year on a more positive note.Whatever the metal’s short-term prospects — indeed even if gold takes another dive — we believe 2012 will be another stellar year for gold investors.
Gold topped out at an all-time high just over $1,924 an ounce in early September - a whopping gain of some $600 or about 50 percent from last January’s low point.Wednesday, January 11, 2012 |
