South Korea buys $1B in gold

[calisdad]

Yup, 25 'tonnes' of physical gold. What do you suppose they are thinking?

The precious metals market is currently a gambling house. The prices of gold and silver are totally artificial just like the housing balloon. There will be a major 'correction' eventually. Sure, take a gamble in the short run, but be ready to dump fast. Gold's price now is up 15.5% year to date. Silver is up 30%, but nearly all of that gain occurred amid frenzied buying in the first quarter. Silver peaked at $48.58 an ounce on April 29.

The key word here is frenzied...I'll bet the Koreans lose big time in the long term.

And what EVERY country that just bought gold will lose out on it?

China, India, Mexico, Russia and Thailand are all stocking up along with a LOT of other contries.
