How you know Gold is not a bubble

No one owns it. Its not like tech stocks and 401K's which exposed everyone to equities.

I was at a Stag in Vegas this weekend and there were 30 guys from all over the world in the penthouse. Lawyers, doctors, professionals. Only 2 of us held some physical gold and silver. The rest had none.

NOT a bubble.

Gold is as close to a purely speculative "asset" as there is in this world. It is in a bubble at virtually any price.

How many of them owned crude oil in the Summer 2008? It still imploded 70%.

Knowing something is a bubble or not doesn't give you much of an edge trading it. A simple stop on the way up and down is much more effective than trying to decipher crowd psychology IMO.

The answer is actually very simple. As long as gold goes up as much as the dollar weakens, it is not in a bubble. When it still keeps going up, inspite of the dollar getting stronger then the bubble occurs...

Are you saying they cannot rally simultaneously over the LT?

Yes they usually move in opposite directions of one another
