Is Gold About to Go Vertical?

A bubble implies an unsustainable market. Gold is going up for a reason and will retain much of its value after the great rebalancing.

The public has yet to participate in the great secular gold bull market. This will change as they always come late with unrealistic expectations.

Gold is in a bubble. Anyone will tell you that. They've been saying it since gold was about, oh, $500 an ounce.

But it's a funny kind of a bubble. It's the only one I've encountered where so few people seem to own the asset in question.

During the dot-com bubble, you met lots of people with tech stocks. Taxi drivers told you what dot-coms they owned.

During the housing bubble you met normal, ordinary people who were trading up to expensive homes using adjustable-rate mortgages, buying new condos off plan to flip, and cashing out their fictional "equity" through a refinance mortgage.

But who actually owns gold? I keep hearing about the gold bubble, but every time I ask people if they own any themselves, they say, "no, no, of course not, it's a bubble."
