Marc Faber: Gold Could Fall to $1,100 (+2K Views)

“We overshot on the upside when [gold] went over $1,900.We’re now close to bottoming at $1,500, and if that doesn’t hold it could bottom to between $1,100-$1,200.”

So said Marc Faber (GloomBoomDoom.com) in an interview with CNBC as reported by Catherine Boyle (www.cnbc.com) in an article*  which Lorimer Wilson, editor of www.munKNEE.com (Your Key to Making Money!), has further edited ([ ]). abridged (…) and reformatted below for the sake of clarity and brevity to ensure a fast and easy read.

Boyle goes on to say in her article, in part, that:

Faber, a fund manager who has 25 percent of his portfolio in gold, said that the recent sell-off had come about following nervousness about industrial metals, adding that a 40 percent correction wouldn’t surprise him. While he is bearish in the long-term, he forecast a rebound in markets in the short term, saying:

“Both equity markets and gold markets have become very oversold, and I think a rebound is occurring. Following this rebound, which I expect to get underway this week, there will be a longer slowdown.”

John Woods, Chief Investment Officer at Citi Private Bank, told CNBC… that he believes gold will fall to around $1,400 before continuing its long-term rise, saying:

It was massively over-bought in the last couple of weeks and now it will get over-sold…I don’t think the long-term trend is broken.
