Consumerism Commentary: Time To Buy Gold Or Not?

  • Will Kirby · 3 years ago
    I've been wondering about gold myself. I've been thinking of buying into a Gold ETF on the next slump but I just can't pull the trigger. The thing about Gold though is that while it may be in a short term "bubble", I think it's a really solid play for the next 10 or 20 years. While I think that, I have a tough time pulling the trigger on a stock/asset that I feel i'll be comfortable with in 10/20 years but not right now.

    the price of the gold is really too high now.. it's better to buy low sell high

    The price is high compared to the last 25 years, but is it high compared to the next 25 years?

    Flexo's right - I bet 25 years from now we'll look back at the price of gold right now and think it was a steal. Does that mean i'm ready to pull the trigger - nope!

    Gold would need to be $1400/ounce (inflation adjusted) for it to match its high in the early 1980s.
