Gold Stocks Forecast

In Times Of Crisis, Go For Gold

Indications increasingly point to the fact that anyone who has money to invest and would like to earn any form of interest on it are once again looking towards the best if not only means of allowing their capital to appreciate in value-by turning it into gold.

With every day bringing fresh evidence that the global financial crisis is more severe and will last longer than originally forecast, especially in the UK, increasingly more money people are buying gold. At whatever price it takes.

While Britain’s leading banks are part of the biggest rescue package since Dunkirk, the poor investor has found no hiding place for their savings and is seeing them dwindle in real time.

Without looking into the worst of global scenarios, some  showing  a deterioration that could actually lead to the crumbling of the entire Western banking system as we know it, there is no doubt that the World is sailing into previously uncharted waters where the only true security may lie in gold.

It was only ten years or so that gold seemed to have outlived its place as the safe haven of governments and wealthy individuals, with property and equity taking its place. It has faded into the annals of UK financial history that   Brown, in his early days as Chancellor of the Exchequer sold half of Great Britain’s, around 400 tonnes, for around 6 billion pounds when today it will be worth around four times that amount.

Dealing with global financial trends as far is gold concerned is not for the faint hearted, and there are those that say Gordon Brown’s thinking then as Chancellor was probably echoed by many others in the European and the US financial hierarchy.  Gold seemed dull and inflexible when compared to the bright lights of unbridled lending and borrowing all financed by constant and unrealistic property and share capital increases

Financial experts say that a huge revaluation in the price of gold is happening and if allowed to continue will prop up not only the UK treasury but also those of the countries most exposed to the financial crisis, especially those who had the good sense to leave their gold stocks intact. 

Buying gold will provide an answer to those who wish to protect their assets till the storm subsides, but who knows how long that can take. In the times that we are living through gold can be a bad short term bet but an excellent medium to long term safety net. Even those who bought into gold a year or so have fared better than those who kept their assets in shares or property.

Gold’s continued healthy performance also depends on demand and supply, and all eyes are on the Asian market which is more dynamic and short term that that of the West.  If there is a decrease in demand for gold in these developing economies, especially India and China, there will be a decrease in global gold price growth. 

Overall investing in Gold, either in a physical format or in certain of the gold stocks still seems to be the best hedge against deflation of asset value. , Gold prices may remain volatile, especially in the short term. However the tends to be that prices are moving upwards, rising steadily towards the psychological $1,000 an ounce level. In the past it has stuck there. The extra eighteen billion pounds that would be sitting today in Government coffers seems insignificant went compared to the financial commitments that have been taken on through supporting the banks and insurance companies today. But it would be comforting to know that it was still there.
