gold bubble evidence — not an ad. They turned off their shopping cart and are only selling gold+silver over the phone.
Is that evidence of a bubble or simply evidence that people are looking for a safe place to put their money? Even using the bogus government CPI numbers, we are way below the inflation-adjusted price of gold in 1980. IMO, gold is valued fairly right now. It’s certainly no bargain but it’s not ridiculous either. You’ll know there’s a gold bubble when you hear people at Starbucks talking about how much money they’re making on theirs, when you see ads for trading gold on margin on late-night TV, and when Time magazine has a cover story entitled — “America’s Love Affair With Gold!”
The big problem I see with gold is that the market is very easy for the big playaz to manipulate. There is even a special interest group dedicated to exposing the rigging of the gold market. Of course in the stock market we have the PPT rigging the game using OUR TAX DOLLARS. Gotta love this “free market” system.

My apmex posting is trying to make the argument that buying gold is going mainstream… I don’t really know anything about the company in particular, but it looks like a “retail” outlet (to me). However they are listed on the first page of google for a variety of gold + silver keywords… so I am making a few assumptions
1) they really are experiencing an n-fold increase in business
2) they are focused on a retail level (small lots) to many buyersI conclude the retail demand for gold is increasing because… everyone thinks that everyone else is getting in on it, so they should do, ergo bubble

March 20, 2008 at 10:08 AM #173742blahblahblahParticipantI see your point alarmclock, this could be the beginning of a bubble. Many of us saw evidence of a housing bubble here in SD back in 2002-2003. Of course it ran for a couple of years after that and is only now beginning to deflate. If gold is getting bubbly I think we are closer to the beginning than the end. This is NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE of course!
