Gold is HIGHLY overvalued and speculated up to the point of sillyness, it cost NO MORE to mine that sutff than it did 5 years ago, there is no shortage of it and central banks of the world have been divesting themselves of it for the last couple of years.
Just like oil/fuel. Heavy speculators looking for suckers.
WHats difference between gambling and investing ? I almost forgot ?
