buy gold when it settles back down to $750/oz (spot), which implies StreetTrack Gold Shares ETF (ticker: GLD) price of $75 or lower.

it's difficult to come up with a formula to value gold.

but, at the end of the day ..

more funny paper money means that gold goes UP.

the pundits are saying gold could hit $2,000/oz if this keeps up.
Which is pretty close to where it should be now. Gold IMHO has been undervalued since they deregulated at 34 bucks.
