What's Behind the Big Jump in the Gold Price / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
Since the bull gold market began in 2001, Gold Drivers Report publisher and Bullion Store proprietor Eric Hommelberg argues that gold has significantly outperformed the Dow in terms of valuations, and as he sees it, the bull run will last at least until the middle of the next decade. The rhythm of this market over the past eight years tells him that $1,000 gold is history, and we can expect the current climb to push the price past the $1,250 mark next spring. In this exclusive Gold Report interview, Eric tells readers why. He also explains that while he prefers the precious metals in physical form, he recommends holding a select set of junior explorers, too—ones with trustworthy, savvy managements and promising drill results.

What we are entering now is equivalent to falling into a black hole. We have gone too far with the mindless money creation. Now the rest of the world realizes that any investment in the dollar is guaranteed simply to depreciate. Even light does not escape from the depths of a black hole. The US dollar sure isn’t going to do any better.
