Who will Send Gold over
$2000 by George Kengott 05/01/09
Meet the Investors Who Will Send
Gold to $2,000 per Ounce
You no
longer have to be a gold bug to think gold will rise
in price. In fact, this buying by some of the world’s
greatest investors may be the leading indicator for a
quick 116% climb - to $2,000 per ounce or
higher.
April 30th, 2009
For the first time in a
couple of decades, some of America’s most successful,
big-name investors are buying gold.
David Einhorn, the hedge-fund
manager who predicted the downfall of Lehman
Brothers, recently
bought gold for the first time. And then there is John
Paulson, the guy who made billions of dollars by correctly
anticipating the housing bust and credit crisis. Paulson
just plunked down $1.3 billion for an 11% stake in major
gold miner AngloGold. He’s also got a big position in
Kinross Gold.
Peter Munk, the 82-year-old
chairman and founder of Barrick Gold, also offers up his
own anecdote about gold’s broadening appeal. "I have had
more phone calls in
the past six months than ever before - from people who have
$120,000 inherited from grandmother, and from hedge fund
managers with millions," he says. "I am not saying George
Soros, but people of that caliber have told me they are
buying gold."
You no longer have to be a
gold bug to think gold will rise in price.
In fact, this buying
by some of the world’s greatest investors may be the
leading indicator for a quick 116% climb - to $2,000 per
ounce or higher.
Why? The biggest reason is
that the value of the dollar looks about as brittle as a
90-year-old’s hip socket. And if you worry about the value
of the dollar - or any paper currency - then gold is a good
alternative.
In fact, gold has held up
well while most everything else has taken a beating over
the last year. On a recent conference
call with
investors, First Eagle fund manager Abhay Deshpande points
out that gold is at a new high in just about every currency
apart from the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen. "It has
performed its job for everyone in these countries," he
says. "It has held its value."
Take a look at the chart
below and you can see the falloff of the dollar in recent
years and the rise of gold.
"But there have always been worries about the value of the dollar," you say. "That’s not new." True. What is new is a global financial crisis unlike anything we’ve seen in the post-World War II era. And that crisis has brought with it serious doubts - the most serious in decades - about the dollar’s ability to keep its top perch in the aviary of world currencies. As that doubt increases, gold gathers new fans. It is easy to buy gold today with gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs). They are like mutual funds that hold gold. As investors pile into these ETFs, the ETFs’ gold holdings also go up. It’s one way to see the dramatic increase in demand for gold in just the last few quarters… 
So we have to ask: At $900 per ounce, are all the fears baked in or are we on some new history-making path? I have a good friend who advises institutional clients on investing. As he reminds me, the really big money hasn’t started buying yet. There are no big pension funds or endowments with significant gold holdings. That could change. If so, the gold price will go wild. "Gold is a small market," Munk notes. Munk’s career spans 60 years and he knows the gold market as well as anyone. Says he:
That’s how gold gets to $2,000 per ounce - just a bit of doubt turning into action. The mind boggles at what would happen if China decided to plow more of its gigantic currency reserves into gold. Gold could well hit $5,000. As long as President Obama, Fed Chief Bernanke, and pals treat the dollar like confetti, gold should continue to gather new fans. The world order will not always hinge around the dollar. Global finance will not always find its center on Wall Street. As Munk pointed out: "Look around Davos this year. So Goldman Sachs cancels its dinner party. In its place, a Kazakh company has a dinner party." As the dollar goes bust, who knows what will replace it? With gold, you don’t have to worry too much about the answer. Call me today to see how you can profit from this. -- (watch the Silver video on our site from NY Times best selling author Robert Kiyosaki) | ||
