In Money Central's MSN Top Stocks Report, the "Beware the Peak Gold Theory" article is quite informative and sensible for those that invest in gold and those that are thinking about it. Once it hit over $1000 an ounce and started heading towards record highs, everybody thought that maybe it would experience a drastic sell-off. Different theories about the run-up of gold abound, but the main difference in gold and oil is that gold is constantly recycled and melted down in different forms so it is in constant circulation, where oil is consumed and gone forever.
What this means for those that are thinking of investing in gold is that it is cautious optimism that has to be considered. While gold is a stable commodity against inflation, it is in constant circulation. The main bright spot about the high gold prices staying stable is that if somebody had a mine that was sitting on some, they would have sold their gold at these higher prices to lock in a profit and that hasn't happened. To gold investors, that means that it is a pretty good investment based on supply and production outlooks. This article helps you understand how the gold market works, in case you didn't know.
