You're quite correct, the gold forum is a happy hunting ground for those delving into financial psychology, your students would have a field day here
It's a treasure trove of failed catastrophic predictions, conspiracy websites and investigating the mindset of those that continuously prophesy debt-fuelled crashes that never happen.
All you had to do was read the gold forum in 2011, where goldbugs and 'experts' like Jim Cramer could see no end to the lunacy, but end it did, and of course none of those goldbugs are no longer on the gold forum after their colossal losses.
When there's a recession gold suckers forget that they always end, and also forget to take their profits like the Bre-X gold scam that emptied out loads of dupes, and of course there's always the leeches of the world ready to tell their gullible audience how gold will do a moonshot, how 'we're running out of gold' and the biggest lie of all, 'central banks are buying', and that central bankers are 'very smart people' because they're buying gold.
True believers in gold always revert to personal attacks, scroll through he comments section of loony conspiracy website Zerohedge and see the crap that passes for debate.
