Goldman, who is one of the pillars of the mainstream financial community, is now calling for continuing low interest rates and a higher gold price throughout 2012. Perhaps this will be the tipping point to re-ignite interest in gold shares. I've read the low values are due to shorting by the hedge funds but have never seen any proof. Gold is already at $1692 and will have plenty of rocket fuel available courtesy of the financial incompetence of the US and ECB( who have now agreed to buy Spanish and Italian bonds with their own version of quantitative easing). It looks like we'll see a golden sunrise tomorrow.
