Gold Drops to New 2012 Low : a Historic Buying Opportunity

"It's not over," says Louis James, chief metals & mining strategist of Casey Research. James believes that markets fluctuate, and investors follow to find opportunity. Gold has been regarded as a currency for all of recorded time. To bet against it in favor of the printing press scrip being served up by global central banks is pure folly.
"an ounce of gold would buy you a good suit." That remains a decent truth though the quality of tailoring has varied of late. The point is that gold isn't a speculative bet, but a store of value. "To speculate you buy the gold stocks," he says, but if you want to own something you're sure will have absolute value regardless of the markets, keep your money in bullion. "If gold isn't working right now you need to look on it as a buying opportunity." He said

Bob Chapman : Another Quantitative Easing is on the Way

Bob Chapman : Well, we had an $868 billion stimulus package. The Federal Reserve then created enough money and credit to bring that package assistance up to somewhere between $2.3 and $2.5 trillion. For that, we had approximately 16 months of attempted recovery. During that period of time, five quarters averaged growth between 3% and 3.25%. I feel that was a very, very high price to pay for a relatively sideways movement in the economy. Now we're back to square one. The recovery is not continuing. The Federal Reserve is talking about more quantitative easing. They're talking about buying back the toxic securities they bought from banks at a price they won't disclose. That move essentially cleared up the banks' books but at the same time encumbered the Fed's books, which they're now going to unburden by selling the bonds back to the same people they bought them from. Now, we don't know what the loss factor is because they won't tell us, so we have to ballpark it. Out of this money that's coming and going they have to come up with a figure somewhere in the vicinity of $1.2 trillion. That's what they're going to use for this quantitative easing. - in the theaureport

Jim Rogers Not Buying Gold Yet

Jim Rogers : "I will add [Gold to my position] somewhere along the line, but not for a while,"
"Gold has been up 11 years running, that's very unusual. Things should correct. "If gold went down 35% or 40% it would go to $1200...But that's normal, markets correct. "That's the way things are supposed to work, and that would be good for gold in the long run." - in a CNBC interview yesterday
