Housing prices are getting ready to crash (at least in the USA), and mortgage rates are rising.  So real estate is not a good investment right now.  People like to put their money into something tangible, and since real estate is not good any more (stocks are out of the question - too unstable and people don't trust corporations), metals are the next best thing.  We're facing heavy inflation here, and gold and other precious metals tend to go up in real value in such circumstances.  Actually, prices, in real dollars adjusted for inflation are still quite low, historically speaking.  So many are buying now, which drives up the price.  Furthermore, many industrial uses for metals are increasing, especially in China.

Are you sure the jewerly is 14k? This shouldn't happen,\nunless the metal underneath the gold is causing this to happen.

After 12 years, it's worth $4000.\nAfter 24 years, it's worth $8000.\nAfter 36 years, it's worth $16,000.\nAfter 48 years, it's worth $32,000.\nAfter 60 years, it's worth $64,000.\n\nDo you see a pattern here?

7% ARE YOU KIDDING ME?\n\nInflation makes everything go down in value compared to the money you have today. My $100 today buys me 100 shmounces (I made up a new unit to make the math easy) of gold. In one year with 3% inflation it will take $103 to buy those same 100 schmounces of gold.\n\nIf you are borrowing the money then the cost is 4% and you get the benefit of not losing the 3% that you would have lost if you waited, so 4%-3%= 1% nominal. You pay the 4% in interest rates and the 3% in the amount it didn't go down in value because you got to enjoy the fruits right now.\n\nIf you are saving the money then it is 4%-3%=1%. You are paid the 4% interest rate which buys you 3% less when you do spend it.\n\nAs you can see inflation helps you in one case and hurts you in the other but the nominal rate is still the same. Weird huh?\n\nIts all about the math.

Basically adjust for inflation or deflation in the money to compare the increases in waves earned from one year to another

Well looking the economy situation it is tough to say but I would say in past there was price of $ 850 sometime in 1970s or sometime they took pretty close 20 yrs to bring down price to $ 275.\n\nAs per that now since market is not steady too it is big risk but this time is still good to buy gold since as per predictions the price will be around 1000-1200 soon so if you have extra money buy some keep aside.   also gold is anytime investment rather than buy anything else buy gold.

There is somewhat of a relationship.  If interest rates rise dramatically as they did in the early 80s, people will tend to invest their money in interest bearing instruments rather than gold and the price of gold will fall.  When interest rates are very low as they currently are, gold becomes a much more attractive investment relative to interest bearing investments and the price of gold tends to increase.

Up, \nMore and more people are entering the market every day and online trading has taken off. I use a site that gave me 1 free gram of gold to trade, you could do the same and watch your free gold increase in value and learn how to trade.

Limited effect. Thirty years ago, everyone and their grandmother was saying the same thing when gold was valued only in dollars. \nAfter, other nation started using their currencies, arbitrageurs, speculators made the market so efficient \nthat nothing happenned.\nThey were wrong 30 years ago, they are wrong now.\nBy now, the effect is priced on all financial markets.

It depends on the weight of the gold.  You most likely wont get very much for it.

Gold is limited in this country.  So the price is control.   They have got this all down to a science if the price goes down for gold they import or mine less of it.   So I believe the price of gold will reach a limited range and go up and down between that.   No, constant drop or constant gain.

If the oil proce goes up then the gold also will go up

Of course I do.  The government is in the business of borrowing money is very large quantities.  So it is to their benefit to make certain that the value of the dollar steadily drops so that they can pay back those mammoth borrowings with dollars that are worth much less than when they borrowed them.  Stick around.  Ten years from now that $20 gold piece will probably be trading for about $2000 or more.

Increase = 11877 - 3752 / 3752\n\n216%\n\nThink of a simpler example.  Say something happened 2 times today and 3 times tomorrow.  That would be 50% more tomorrow or (3-2)/2 = 1/2\n\nSome people will tell you it is 3/2, that is wrong.  The increase is not 150% in this simple case.
