Gold Rises to a Record on Buying From Investors Seeking to Protect Wealth

Do not listen to the Statist shills who tell you gold is a bad investment and attack anyone who advocates it. Even at over a thousand dollars an ounce, with the destruction of our currency imminent gold is still dirt cheap. It is not a bubble - bubbles are formed from Central Bank policies fueled by cheap, loose credit and massive influxes of fiat currency. The gold boom is purely market driven. In fact if there were no government intervention the gold would be much higher and is severely undervalued, as is silver. Get it now while it's still relatively cheap, and while supplies last - demand is HIGH.

Gold rose to a record in London and New York as other commodities gained on speculation demand for raw materials will increase and as investors bought the metal to protect wealth from Europe’s financial turbulence.

China, the world’s third-largest economy, said it may allow the yuan to move higher, making commodities priced in other currencies less expensive for Chinese consumers. Bullion gained in eight of the past nine weeks on speculation debt-cutting measures by European nations will slow expansions. Other precious metals rose to the highest levels in at least a month.

“Gold is benefiting from other commodities,” said Jesper Dannesboe, a senior commodity strategist at Societe Generale SA in London. The China news “is a catalyst, a trigger for buying today. People are still worried about sovereign debt levels.”

Gold, up 15 percent this year, is heading for its 10th consecutive annual gain, the longest winning streak since at least 1920. Bullion has outperformed other commodities as global equities slipped, and this month reached all-time highs in euros, sterling and Swiss francs. Holdings in exchange-traded funds backed by gold reached records, while coin sales from mints accelerated, tightening supplies.
