Is The Move In Gold Near Its End?

Very interesting gold analysis on Bespoke Investment Group website:

Today we read one article that quoted an analyst as saying "Either a swift economic recovery or further dismal economic performance should bring new buyers into the market." We realize that there are certainly some valid arguments for buying gold, but a comment like this is not one of them. Now, we wouldn't necessarily go as far as to say that gold is in a bubble. After all, unlike a lot of recent asset bubbles where prices skyrocketed even as supply expanded, the supply of gold is relatively constrained. That being said, arguments presented as a win win regardless of the outcome are usually found closer to the peak of a move than the beginning.

We are probably at a short term peak. I don't think any gold or silver bug is thrilled to see Jim Cramer talking about Gold LET ALONE silver. I also agree that we are not near the beginning of a move. The beginning was 10 years ago. We are in the middle of it. The end will be in the next 5-10 years. My two cents anyway, have a nice weekend all.
