I think I predicted gold would hit 1500 at the end of 2009. Admittedly economic stability does not seem eminent, and the even bigger question is when selling gold where do you put the money? Wish I knew the answer to that one. Just seems to me that gold is following a bubble path. Bloomberg said the middle east OPEC countries are investing heavily in solar. Seems like a smart way to hedge the energy market and given their latitude I think they can implement it there no problem.
