About two months ago I wrote an article titled “ Will there be a Sell-Off on Gold? “. At that time Gold was quite overpriced and it was close to the psychological barrier of $2.000. I also wrote a bit about how Gold does not really have too much use in technology and that in most cases it is just a shiny piece of stone people like to buy.
