Sprott Asset Management's Chief Investment Strategist, John Embry, said that at current levels, gold represents "one of the best opportunities if not the finest in the whole bull market which is in its twelfth year." Embry continued, "I think gold is going to $10,000 at some particular point and it's going to have nada to do with the price to dig it out of the ground, it should have everything to do with the undeniable fact that people simply do not think their money will be worth anything."
"Gold is the mortal enemy of the fiat paper currency system that we are operating and have been operating for 40 years," Embry announced. "People are beginning to realise that this money will be turned into confetti and the authorities are scared to death they are going to make the connection that gold is a good idea...People are not making the correct connection that gold is what you should be holding in this environment - which will change."
Mitsui Precious Metals researcher David Jollie expounded, "There are loads of bulls out there. They're waiting for a trigger to send the price higher, and the question is, what's that trigger?"
