Gold ain’t goin’ anywhere anytime soon unless the US$ takes another exponential run-up or a great big nosedive - and I don’t think either of those events is about to happen. Here's why.

Gold is in a tough situation right now. It is an enigma and it is suffering from an identity crisis. It does not know whether it wants to be a commodity or a currency...sometimes its price reflects its position as a commodity and other times as a currency. These days gold is struggling with both these roles...and when it decides what it wants to be there will be a price adjustment. I believe that adjustment is coming soon and that it will take the price lower. Here's why.

New changes in the Federal Reserve's discount rate will reverberate through global markets and more than likely increase the price of gold. Here's why.

Our analysis reveals a bearish outlook for gold over the next 3 months based on the following fundamental and technical factors:

What Mr. Armstrong writes in his articles is done so poorly it is almost always confusing and often virtually incomprehensible but it has a way of providing cover for what he says. A case in point is the inference in an article last week that gold had bottomed, would begin to rise substantially sometime after Oct. 1st and eventually reach $5,000+ sometime during 2016. His latest article disclaims those inferences. Here's what he now says by way of clarification:

Central banks clearly want inflation and fear deflation and will, therefore, find a way to create the inflation they want resulting in gold prices somewhere between $3,000 and $4,500 by 2025.

Hundreds of articles seem to be posted every day on why the prices of gold and silver are going north of $5,000 & $100 ozt. respectively, or conversely to below $1,000 and $15, respectively. Unfortunately most of what is written is self-serving and/or wishful thinking. Some is what I call nothing more than financial entertainment devoid of substance. Occasionally a thought provoking article is posted and when that happens munKNEE.com is there with it. Below are some such articles that are currently in the munKNEE.com vault.

The correction in gold is approaching, or is at, its conclusion although gold could drop to $1000 before it’s done. That being said, however, further losses are looking less likely as the dollar has broken down from its parabolic uptrend and is vulnerable to a severe decline. The long-term outlook for gold and silver is a massive parabolic ramp similar to, but much greater in magnitude than that which occurred in the 1970’s, taking gold eventually to $5000 or higher. Silver may prove to be an even better investment. Here's my explanation with a good number of charts.

"Told you so!" I'm sure that is what the analysts who have projected such a dramatic decline are saying with the recent major correction in the prices of gold and silver. Read why they have come to their conclusions in this catch-all article.

I believe those with patience will get the chance to buy gold a lot cheaper than current prices. Gold could be heading toward the $1,000 per troy ounce level - or lower - and that price may come in a fast and furious sell-off.
