Sprott Asset Management's Chief Investment Strategist, John Embry, recounted that at current levels, gold represents "one of the best opportunities if not the finest in the whole bull market which is in its twelfth year." Embry continued, "I think gold is going to $10,000 at some point and it should have nothing to do with the price to dig it out of the ground, it's going to have everything to do with the undeniable fact that folks just don't think their cash will be worth anything."
"Gold is the mortal enemy of the fiat paper currency system that we are operating and have been operating for 40 years," Embry said. "People are starting to realise that this money is going to be turned into confetti and the authorities are scared to death that they are intending to make the connection that gold is a good idea...People are not making the correct connection that gold is what you ought to be holding in this environment - which will change."
Mitsui Precious Metals analyst David Jollie expounded, "There are tons of bulls out there. They're waiting for a trigger to send the price higher, and the question is, what's that trigger?" He suggested, "it may be quantitative easing ; it may be a brief period of Euro Buck stableness ; it might be the Greek elections."
Dennis Gartman, investor and editor of The Gartman Letter, related, "The massive trend, the long trend, the 200-day moving average type trend is still from the lower left to the higher right in gold. ".
