The third stage of the gold bull is always a bubble. It comes
when people start to hoard it. While I agree, gold is quite
dangerous, the bubble can last for years and gold could
easily go to 5000 and above. The demand structure of the gold
market certainly indicates a very strong hoarding component,
which characterizes a stage when gold ceases to be a commodity
and becomes an asset. It has a dual role. It's usually a process,
not an event, so predicting a backward transition from
gold being an asset to gold being a commodity is a difficult
exercise. Gold also has sharp drops during its mania stage,
like the one it's in now.
