There were no shortage of gold price pundits/prognosticators back in 2011 & 2012 claiming that gold would be going to "x" price by "y" date. Below is an updated list of those 42 pundits who were bold enough to provide a specific date as to when their forecast would be realized with their criteria & rationale supported by links to articles in which their determinations were first put forth.

it’s hard to see the current spike in equities as anything other than a blow-off move into a final top. It’s the only description for what the equity markets are doing. Let me explain further.

This article identifies 39 fairly valued dividend growth stocks with above-average historical earnings growth over the past 5 years and a current dividend yield of 1% or better and, as such, is oriented to those retired, or close to retirement, investors that require above-average growth and/or above-average long-term total return.

Whether it is $5,000 or $10,000 per troy ounce for gold - or $100 or $200 for silver - the current distorted pricing will prevail until there is a clear break of the elite’s central banking dominance over the gold and silver markets.

The whole assault on tax havens is economically and morally reprehensible. Tax havens are something that should be applauded, not persecuted. Here's why.

Earlier this year we said that 2014 could well be a repeat of 2013 in terms of unrealized expectations for much higher gold & silver price levels and over the ensuing months have continued to advise everyone to stay out of the long side of the paper futures market for as long as the trend continued down. That came from an obvious read of the charts. This article looks at what the gold and silver charts are saying today.

What has been missing during this 3+ year decline in PMs has been what we have pointed to on several occasions, a form of ending action that sends a message that a change in trend is in progress. Last Thursday and Friday’s sharply higher volume and wide ranges lower is the kind of activity that leads to the end of a trend. There is not enough to say it has happened, to be sure, but the end game is starting to step up and be closer to a resolve of ending of the down trend. [Let me explain further.]

How can you not be scared sh*tless about the future of the financial world given the fact that most S&P 500 companies are spending almost all of their profits on buybacks and payouts and, given the power finance has gathered over the real world, how can you not be scared about your own future? I’m open to suggestions, but I don’t see it. Why? Because I think that what we’re looking at here is the imminent demise of the corporate world, and therefore the financial world, and the entire U.S. economy as we know it. Let me explain.

…Have gold and silver seen a bottom yet, and is there a turnaround soon in the cards? No, and no…It is still business as usual as gold and silver languish around recent lows.  There is no date one can mark on the calendar that points to an end of the Rothschild dominance over Western fiat currencies and their suppression of …

No one can outguess the elites' sustainability of power and control over the entire financial system, including their influence over the price of gold, and, as such, this precludes anyone from being able to intelligibly articulate "when" there will be a transition from "down" to "up" in the price of gold and silver. Unfortunately, as things currently stand, the elites continue to win the majority of the battles, and so control the war. Let me explain why that is the case.
