Ok, you knew this was coming, but I'll say it anyway.

Seeing that gold is basically at 15 year lows and historically banks have sold at the lows and hoarded at the highs it's not a bad option imho.

Everyone is so negative on gold saying that if the markets can fall this much and gold doesn't move then it surely must be dead. However, gold doesn't move with respect to the markets. The most direct correlation is that it moves opposite to King Dollar. Right now the dollar is priced to prefection while gold is loathed. Being a contrarian I like that situation.

Right now the dollar has benefited from a global flight to safety, but the longer the US recession runs the greater the risk that King Dollar will crack.

*** When people see that things are truely different with this market correction vs the corrections that occured during the previous 15 years then the perception of the US as a "safe" market will get re-evaluated - and so will gold. ***
