Why would people buy gold? It's overpriced and pays no return. The time to buy gold was 20 years ago.

Rip Van Winkling much?

On September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld made the shocking announcement that the Pentagon "couldn't track" $2.3 trillion of its transactions.

Which you believe his proposed tax cuts will make better?

 

No. It will take much more than tax cuts.

Trump Market Crash, soon the Trump Depression. The major cause of the Great Depression in the 1930's was tarrifs.

You believe tax cuts will actually increase revenues? Didn't work for Reagan. Didn't work for Bush. Didn't work for Trump 1st term. What's different this time?

Gold has had a 25 year bull run. Why do you think that's going to continue?

Because governments keep printing more money to service the interest rate on their debt.

 

All the gold ever mined would fill three Olympic swimming pools. Miners used to throw out tailings less than 10 g/tonne. now they treat down to 1 g/tonne. Supply and demand.

 

Were you asleep in economics class?

What isn't different this time is that you keep changing the subject. 

 

I was talking about enormous debt. Tax cuts or raises, rate cuts or raises or most anything else won't make a significant difference to that.

The child-like belief of MAGA's that Trump can defy gravity.

Gold had a 12 year bear market last century. They were printing money then too. Gold/silver very high. It's a sell imo.

Your beliefs are not exactly based on economics. You talk up interest rates in one post and gold in another. Rate rises push up the dollar. That makes gold more expensive to foreigners which means less demand and a fall in price.

Why? Does that debt have supernatural qualities?

24 years of excess spending. All the lefties do is blame Trump. This problem will take 10 years or more to fix.

Could be.  But in my humble opinion a 50% market correction would be a good thing.  The S&P has just about increased in value by 10X.  How the hell does that happen without market manipulation.  There has never been a bubble like that in my lifetime.  Market always correct, but the market hasn't been allowed to correct for 17 years.  When it does, it's going to look ugly, well, at least for those not in cash.

The gold bear market last century was due to three factors - decreasing inflation, a strong US dollar, and relatively stable economic conditions. None of which apply now.

 

I did buy gold in that period, as I thought it was undervalued. Sat on it for 5 years, sold at a profit that was equivalent to 10% per year.

There will be value in shares that have never missed a dividend.

I'm not forecasting a 12 year fall. More like 1 or 2 years. It is high based on gold/silver ratio and long term averages.

I value gold at $2400 based on long term average movements.

US has a spending problem. They are cutting spending. Endless wars and waste.
