ZitatThere are also considerable short positions in gold and silver which would amplify the price movement in the event of a sudden shift of money into precious metals. Therefore gold and silver are not only likely to prove highly defensive assets in an inflationary environment for general prices, and a deflationary one for stocks and real estate.
A big price spike like that seen in the late 1970s is perfectly likely. How high could prices of precious metals go? The Schroder Alternative Solutions Gold and Metals Fund launched last week predicted $5,000 an ounce for gold in the next few years.
Silver has arguably greater potential for price gains, with the largest short position and tightest supply situation and could top $100 from $17 an ounce today. That is why more and more smart money is choosing precious metals as an asset class. The cycle will later turn and real estate and shares recover their appeal once a recession has beaten inflation. But that is a several years away and not yet even on the horizon.
wenn die banken, die ihre fonds immer mehr mit gold bestücken mal auf physische deckung bestehen würden, hätten wir den angesprochenen short squeeze wohl schon gesehen. but time will tell und wir werdens wohl erwarten
