what I find interesting about this gold forum is the very polarised views. Many people here have good points whether they are pro gold or not.
Personally I find there is value in trading/holding it. It's part of a bigger portfolio and there are opportunities.
There are times when golds Outlook is bleak, and prolong bear markets in gold could see a decline in capital and lost opportunities elsewhere.
Peoples opinions towards gold vary greatly, however I find there are small golden nuggets of information amongst peoples opinions which can be very helpful.
