    You don't seem to realize that any economic system, such as ours, has its time of highs and lows. Inflation is a good thing as it controls the costs/demand/supply of items in the market, but not without its negatives. Too high can make things very expensive, while too low make things worthless.

    When people stop buying gold the price will go down. prices go up or down depending on the demand of the product. So people might have stopped buying for a while because the price was so high and money is tight. that temporary lack of demand can temporarily impact the product. so it goes down for a few weeks than shoots up when people start trying to grab it at it's lowest.

    The price fluctuates based on the value of the dollar, If the dollar is down it takes more of them to buy an ounce of gold, if the dollar is up it takes less of them to buy an ounce of gold, the value of gold it self is stable it's the currencies instability that fluctuates not the gold value.

    Don't understand why you are asking me this? I simply said Gold was down -13% YTD. Never said why. My guess is because the global economic outlook is turning positive so people are looking for better investments, i.e equities both home and abroad. People fled to Gold during the crisis because it is a commodity of historic value, thus demand goes up, price went up. Not to hard to figure out bruh.

  • @ejdean85
    @ejdean85 11 років тому

    No... it's the deflation of the dollar that yields a lower cost per unit of Gold. Deflation preceeds hyperinflation. We are currently in that state. They are keeping the lid on things with QE and interest rates. Gold, similar to oil is primarily exchanged with U$D.

  • @camerontaylor209

    Also, I love how everyone started calling the metal drop a "correction", yet not a single person who does so can cite a reasonable explaination for why such a massive drop occured.
    It was not because of "weak chinese manufacturing data" and it was not because of "the fed considering tapering"... neither of these things can account for a nearly 20% drop.
    So if it was a "correction" and not a manipulation of sorts, give me a cause? And why was physical demand so huge afterward?

      coz its cheap. personally I am going nuts on silver. they didn't learn the heard lessons they should have learnt in the GFC, just stickytaped it up and moved on like a golddigger after a divorce. wait until there is a shakeup in china due to all the "ghost cities" they built and can't sell. and their "shadow banking system" goes and disappears (with certain people fleeing overseas with whatever cash is left) and leaves everyone high and dry. or the US debt crisis FINALLY reaches a head. or the euro debt crisis reaches a head. or britain leaves the EU. or BRICS releases its new currency. or the interest rate goes up and causes the derivatives market to tank (that's if things get BETTER). either way there is going to be hell to pay due to these bankers not REALLY fixing the problems. at THAT POINT I will be buying stuff from bankruptcy auctions at 5 cents on the dollar (already can get stuff there at 20-25 cents on the dollar and that's when people ARE buying) when the price of silver has gone up several fold. it will be great to be the only bidder at these bankruptcy auctions. I'll be there thinking "LOOKS WHO'S LAUGHING NOW BITCHES".

    @dwigraha1197 11 років тому

    the real problem with paper money is it can be tempered in terms of power to buy. Support by the fact of inflation, it clearly state that money has become of less value because of it's shear replication done by the central banking system without real asset such as gold to backup the value. Obviously by pointing out the short period fall of gold value in comparison with the never ending decline of value of money shown as inflation is ridiculous. A lot of respect for Ron Paul btw!! ^U^.

    Just to point it out... it is in fact true that most standard measures of inflation have been changed in the last 5 years in various phases - mainly in regards to the proportionate impact of staple food and energy prices.
    While the government has been in the market for well over 70 years, the extent and sophistication of their involvement has most certainly been increasing, again in various phases.
    Both of these things are easily confirmed through research. Generalizing represents ignorance.

    couple of points:
    1) Gold had about a 30% correction in 2008 from about $1000 to $700 and it still finished the year positive and went on to make new highs.
    2) The hosts act as if anyone who owns gold is stupid because it fell by 30%. In late 2008 and early 2009, the stock market fell over 50%. It's only now just marginally higher than it was in 2007 and not a whole lot higher than it was in 2000 either. By comparison over the last 5 or 10 years, gold wins hands down!

    come on guys, how hard is it to understand what money is? the real reason behind that gold is much better than paper money/digital money is that you need to put in real energy/effort to create gold, thus with money on gold standard, its start giving money the intrinsic value. currently, the only intrinsic value of money is coming from interest rates that is not even control by the market but private cartels.

    What actually said is right about the export, import and labor demands. But face it, regardless of whatever you do China will win when it comes to cheap labour. They can easily manipulate their currency value safely with gold to back them up just in case of hyper inflation. Your country on another hand, if you gonna print the money out competing the currency with China especially without gold, US would probably collapse before then just to get labor force back.

    Gold is the medium of exchange that has lasted throughout history. It is an excellent one because you can't make it like fiat currency -- the alchemists tried to do so in the middle ages -- and there is a limited, fixed amount of it on this planet.
    When the printing presses print "money" it just postpones the inevitable -- a collapse of the US$ -- and that day those who hold gold and silver will be able to buy food.

      The next 20 years may or may not have been productive for you
      The next 20 years puts you right up against retirement.
      Can you imagine Every time you invest in anything you have to wait 20 years to see how you made out.

      Howzyer Bippy I think that perhaps you misunderstood what Ron Paul has said.
      He is not suggesting you go out and buy gold as an investment, to cash in a year or two, but rather to have gold to protect your wealth. He knows what the central banks of the world are doing to their nations' currencies and he knows that the only logical outcome of these actions is hyper-inflation.
      Ron Paul mentions in various speeches and writings that the central bank's policies are destroying our currency and that the nation will fall into serious economic problems once the entire scheme becomes apparent to the larger population. When, and if, that happens, gold and silver will be the only true measures of wealth (as they have always been until the 1970s) and the dollar will be worthless.
      So when you see Ron Paul preach gold keep in mind he is not talking about having a little profit on a monthly or yearly scale, but rather to wait for the day the hammer falls and the entire floor is wiped out. This could happen tomorrow, 2 years from now, or 10 years from now. It is inevitable if things keep going this way so you might as well buy gold before it goes back to its previous peaks.

      Nick,
      You apparently (and may be also Ron Paul) do not understand the full consequences of hyper-inflation.
      The only effect with hyper inflation is to hype inflate the price of goods and services.
      Which in turn means that goods are priced higher and services cost more than before.
      So if you are a service provider you make more and if you sell goods the price you ask is more.
      The price of that pile of junk in your drive way will be more.
      The benefits of hyper inflation are that any outstanding loans you have out will be more easily paid off with the hyper dollars. So that the $150,000 dollar house you bought and still owe $100,000 on will become priced in the hyper dollars at say 1000% or $1,500,000 yet the mortgage will remain at only $100,000.
      It is true that the $20 you have in your wallet will be effected and the $100 you have in your piggy bank will lose and any loans you have made or cash investments will lose.
      But how many of us have money loaned out to others (in significant quantities) and how many actually have a great deal in cash in the bank.
      All your "stuff" in the garage will be priced in the new inflated dollars.
      so you will for the most part just break even
      unless you have a mortgage and if you do you will get a windfall

      Howzyer Bippy I understand all that, however most people have cash savings.
      You also seem to ignore the entire bond market and the fact that wages does not follow the economy at a real pace.
      If hyperinflation hits, the money in your broker's account will also lose value. No one trades/risks 100% of their account and that money will disintegrate just the same.
      Also let us not forget that run-away inflation is bad for the economy. Your assumption that a house will follow inflation price and all will be the same dictates that the economy will not be hurt and that liquidity will remain the same.
      Think of the massive bond-sellout that will occur, driving interest rates through the roof. Who will take out loans at that point? How will the banks survive? The economy will go to a screeching halt and all your goods will be worthless as liquidity disappears.
      Gold prices, however, will sky rocket.

    Also The BLS develops annual Consumer Expenditure Surveys and Point-of-Purchase Surveys, so they have the flexibility to monitor changing buying habits in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Plus, the census conducted every 10 years by the Census Bureau provides information that enables the BLS to reselect a new geographic sample that accurately reflects the current population distribution and other demographic factors. In other words you are completely wrong and ignorant.

    Gold is not the be all and end all of currency. I agree with Dr paul on a lot of things WRT to the FED etc, but I don't agree with returning to the gold standard.
    The value of gold is really only one lay of abstraction above paper money (oh shiny stuff), the question that needs to be asked, with gold, if money does return to the gold standard, who owns all the gold? The very people that run the fed...
    So it'd be like jumping from the pot into the fire.

    The dollars value has NOTHING to do with its relationship to other fiat currencies value, which is what EVERYONE measures its values by. It has EVERYTHING to do with the purchasing power of the dollar, and THAT only goes in one direction: DOWN. The dollar has lost almost 95% of its purchasing power since our central bank started printing it. What has gold done?

  • @The_Laureate

    False. Gold has intrinsic value, it is expected to reach $5,000 in 2 years. A market correction does nothing to gold, it will always be a valuable commodity.

    In the 50s the US had a very strong dollar and also had some of the lowest un-employment rates in history. Inflation is not good it discourages and punishes savers. Savings is the foundation on which a countries production is built.
    Yes inflation can help debtors... that a big part of our problem, our system encourages debt. and discourages savings.
    Based on historical methods our inflation rate is 9.5%... so where is the BOON?
