I have developed a formula that has predicted gold price precisely over the last 12
years. if it continues in a similar fashion for the next few years we should see gold at $4,875 a troy ounce in 2015. Words: 438
So says Silverbach in edited excerpts from a post* on the www.goldismoney2.com blog which Lorimer Wilson, editor of www.munKNEE.com (Your Key to Making Money!), has further edited below for length and clarity – see Editor’s Note at the bottom of the page. (This paragraph must be included in any article re-posting to avoid copyright infringement.)
Silverbach goes on to say, in part:
The formula does not predict the day-to-day movements but, long-term, the gold price is pretty much right on the precise spot where the predicted price trend is. See the chart.
Here is how the formula is derived. It applies accurately to ALL hyperinflation [events that have] ever occurred in human history, including the Weimar Republic and Zimbabwe inflation.
First, let’s consider how inflation happens. Gold is considered a constant valuation. Gold price appreciation indicates inflation, nothing more and nothing less. The gold price can be written in the following generic formula, which is generally correct, as prices change in percentage, i.e. geometric term. You just need to choose the proper time dependent function Y(T):
P = P0 * exp(Y(T))
The time function Y(T) increases over time. The increase of Y(T) is the inflation and depreciation of the currency. So let’s look at what Y(T) should look like.
In the constant inflation scenery, gold price should increase the same percentage each year, therefore Y(T) would simply be proportional to the time, t, therefore
Y(T) = C*T (constant inflation)
Inflation is not constant, however. At first, there is almost no inflation and then inflation increases over time. The rate of inflation also increases in percentage terms. Thus Y(T) = exp(y(T)). So we should write gold price as:
P = P0 * exp(exp(y(T))),
with an increasing y(T) reflecting an increasing inflation rate.
Finally, the acceleration of inflation itself is not a constant. The faster the inflation accelerates, the faster they need to print more money and it speed up the acceleration of inflation further. So we expect that y(T) itself increases geometrically. Thus we can expect that acceleration of inflation is:
y(t) = exp(C*(T-T0))
Putting everything together, we obtain an elegant math formula of gold price under inflation. Elegant because there are only two adjustable parameters: the starting time T0, and acceleration factor C:
P = P0 * exp(exp(exp(C*(T-T0))))
I find that using the constant C = 3/80 = 0.0375 gives a perfect gold price match for the past 12 years:
P = $15.00 * exp(exp(exp(0.0375*(T-2000))))
Conclusion
The plotted chart above shows that the gold price goes up exactly according to the predicted curve.

Once this present correction in gold has been completed it should [undergo] the largest and strongest wave in the entire gold bull market…to around $4,500 with only two 13% corrections along the way. [Let me explain how I came to that conclusion.] Words: 1900
According to a recent Elliott Wave theory analysis gold is about to go parabolic reaching $3,495 in June 2013, $6,233 in April 2014, $10,899 in Sept. 2014, $18,712 in December 2014 and culminating in a parabolic peak price of $31,672 on January 16th, 2015! See the chart below. Words: 600
4. Fractal Gold Projection of $3,500 into Mid-year Remains Intact!
Our Fractal Model suggests the wave for Gold in US Dollars will sweep up into the $3500 to $3600 area into the mid-year time-frame. The leading edge of that time-frame begins in May and extends out for a few months. A potential for Gold to spike to a $3900 extended fib level exists. Like all parabolic moves in Gold, the late stages create the biggest price movements. Personally, I would be happy with a huge Gold run up to the $3200 level. Words: 1400

7. Will Gold Peak at $2,500, $8,890 or $15,000?
When considering that the conditions which propelled gold and silver to their 1980 highs are much worse today, I predict both metals will easily eclipse those previous highs. That means $2,500 gold and $150 silver at the very minimum, but more likely a parabolic ascent to $8,890 gold and $517 silver before all is said and done. Words: 1063

9. Get Positioned: “Gold Rush” Will Cause Gold Stocks to SOAR – Here’s Why
Whatever their reasons, the number of investors wanting exposure to gold is increasing. Many who ignored it a decade ago are now buying. Those who started buying, say, five years ago, continue purchasing it today in spite of paying twice what they paid then. Slowly but surely, it’s becoming more important to more people…but what happens when it becomes a must-own asset to a substantial majority instead of a small minority? Sure, the price will rise, probably parabolically, but putting aside speculation on the price of gold for now, have you thought about what happens if you have trouble finding any actual, physical gold to buy?
