Syncrude,

<<Gold no longer plays as much of a role it used to because of the growing supply. It is no longer as rare. >>

There is not a lot more gold now than there was some 30 years ago... 30-35% more at best. The growth rate is similar to the growth rate of the world population. IOW, the supply is rather constant and is only 30-35% higher than it was 25 years ago.

On the other hand, the potential demand is explosive and is really proportional to the explosive growth in the world currencies that can buy this gold. It may be latent at the moment, but this can change any time. There are more people with money that can and will buy gold when the conditions are met.

Gold is still view as a monetary reserves.. and in time, its price will reflect the imbalance created over the last two decades.
