I'd take some of these articles with a grain of salt, they just learned how to play the chess game better then others. Not much reason for gold to be up, other then some gold bought to make jewelry somewhere in India or china. However, they will get the herd mentality thinking gold is going back up to the highs. If it does well it beats me, but unless someone can show me any real data to prove why it would go back up to where it dropped from then I'm still of the mind that gold has not bottomed. Material gold, well that is different, Really?, well there is not much use for that either. Even when we do reach the place of a cashless society, I would like to see how many people will really have gold stashed in vaults. Its really funny actually.
