A Look at Gold Price Predictions 2012

When the value of the dollar is on the decline, investors begin looking at other assets to invest in. Oil, real estate, and precious metals are a very common investment—gold is one of the most common investments in the world. The gold price predictions 2012 look very promising, and this makes gold one of the most sensible investments available.

Investing in Gold

When the United States was founded, a $20.00 bill and a $20.00 gold coin had the same value. Today, however, due to the country’s printing of billions and billions of $20.00 bills, the value of the American dollar is in decline. This is because the value of the dollar is a direct reflection of the state of the American economy as it ranks among other countries. Gold is a completely different type of investment; a $20.00 gold coin is worth much more today than a $20.00 bill. This is because gold is a finite resource; there is only so much to go around, and the United States government cannot simply ‘print’ more gold in times of financial crisis. This is why gold price predictions 2012 are looking stronger than ever.

How the Price of Gold is Determined

The price of most commodities is determined by the amount of that product that is consumed or destroyed vs. the amount of the product that is being produced—otherwise known as Supply and Demand. Gold, on the other hand, is generally not consumed or destroyed; in fact, the majority of the gold that has been mined in human history is still in existence today. Therefore, the price of gold must be determined some other way. In general, the people who own gold stockpiles are able to determine a minimum price per ounce at which they would sell. This price is the basis for gold price predictions 2012, and when combined with other factors like the amount of gold leaving mines in recent years, it makes for a very accurate forecasting model.

Gold Price Predictions 2012

The record high price for gold was set in September of 2011 at a whopping $1,920.00 an ounce, but has since fallen to right around $1,750.00 an ounce. The decline of more than $200.00 an ounce in just a couple of months leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many, but experts say there is nothing to worry about as gold price predictions 2012 generally speak of new record-breaking gold prices. Many gold connoisseurs are stating that the price of gold could easily eclipse $2,200.00 an ounce by the end of 2012, and perhaps even climb as high as $5,000.00 in the future. As gold ore becomes harder to find, those who own the gold will have higher asking prices for their stockpiles.

With the downturn of the American and European economies, many people turn to hard assets in order to guarantee a solid financial future. Gold price predictions 2012 lead many to believe that gold may be the best hard asset to invest in both this year and in years to come

There were a lot of concerns about the EURO this week and if you take a look at the chart below it is obvious that there is alot of  pessimism surrounding  this currency right now.

EURO CHART…

There has been a considerable sell off over the last few months, and things are not looking very good at all.

The sad reality of all this is that many economists are now predicting a full breakup of the EURO in the coming years, and that is also keeping investors away.

Investors are staying right way from the EURO and subconsciously people are thinking if they were to go long the EURO right now, is it worth it? considering that it might not even exist in 5 years from now. So 2012 will be an important year for the EURO and many investors remain on the sidelines to see what happens. But for now, it is highly likely that the EURO will hit fresh lows in the coming weeks as the European crisis continues to remain in the headlines.

There is a positive side to all of this if you are NOT living in EUROPE, and that is holidays in Germany and some European regions are up to 35% cheaper, and not many people are realizing this.

The good thing about a weak EURO is that people from other parts of the world who have always wished to go and travel in EUROPE have been handed a gift right now, and there has never been a better time, to take advantage of their weakened currency.

Ready for Apocalypse? It’s Only One Year From Today!

Well eventually the time had to come. It’s Only One Year From Today! yes, 52 weeks are left before the end of the world.

We actually had so many of our subscribers worried, that we posted a FREE TRENDS alert  here ==> WILL THE EARTH END IN 2012

Dec. 21 2012 is meant to be the end for us all. Many Doomsday theories are out there at the moment, and suggest people get ready for the big event. It is quite amusing really…

Cities in the Mayan region have already begun a year long countdown to the date using a big 8 foot clock. While in surrounding areas the maya priests will start burning incense for a year and chant prayers to ask for guidance.

The Mayan calendar and the 13th Baktun ends on Dec 21, 2012.  But the doomsday theories stem from a tablet that was originally found back in 1960. The calendar allegedly runs out next year, and believers have gone to the internet where thousands of websites and blogs now document information about this so called date.

Let is think back to how people got into a panicked state over the Y2k hype, when it was feared all computers would malfunction and send world wide economies into a tail spin. Yet nothing happend.

Isn’t it funny that we as human beings always focus on apocalyptic ideas and events and always assume the worst will always happen. There are even numerous documentaries on the history channel talking about this event.

The mayan people are probably frustrated with the western world for taking this date and making it into such a large spectacle.

The tour operators and motel owners in the Maya area have been booked out solid for this end of year date. In fact they are booked out solid weeks ahead of December the 21st. “It is like some people are excited and want to be there when this so called event happens” one tour operator said.

I think the only ones that should be getting ready for this event should be the maya business owners who are going to sell out of everything leading up to the end of DECEMBER next year. For the rest of us there is no need to panic, we can just sit back and rest easy and laugh at all the hype and hysteria.
