Gold Investment 2009: Will the rising price continue or will it end up here?

not necessarily!! as inflation is not the only reason for the the hike in price of the yellow metal. first the demand of gold will always be there, which wil not let the price go down. another reason is the upward shift in the total gold traded in the economy. it should not be misunderstood that the gold prices will never stop rising high, its obvious, any security which is purchased is sold for realization of returns, but like inflation cannot take place world wide as all the countries cannot grow at same level at a same time, similarly demand ofthe gold will not decrease at same time. this will keep the uptrend of the price of gold continued in future also.so the level of gold price fluctuations will be higher only.   

I think if inflation results or if the dollar weakens as the supply of dollars necessarily increases under the stimulus plans, gold is a likely winner because it hedges against inflation. Depreciation of the U.S. dollar, low international interest rate etc in the face of economic slowdown are likely to be supportive for the gold price
