I think Gold is a long term outperform (wait until the dollar starts devaluating) but could have problems over the next year. First, imports by India are dropping. Second, Europe may be forced to sell some of their reserves to prop up the Euro. Third, the price may be artificially high due to seasonal Chinese buying in advance of the Lunar New Year. Fourth, the recent runup is in part due to a rush to gold by Iranian citizens watching their currency fall apart.

Despite this, the risk reduction and portfolio diversification gold brings make it a must buy for any portfolio. I believe it will be very strong over the very long term.

I think the gold bubble will pop in the next few years.

This right shoulder might start to look like a leg, given half a chance that sovereign selling is accelerating.

Europe will not be able to contain debt crisis, hence Gold is a play

ETF holds gold at the lowest expense rate.

Gold will continue to rise due to expanding government debt and out of control fiat money creation and this ETF is an easy way to play the trend.

There will be high inflation and low wage increases.

I believe that each portfolio should have some gold exposure as gold continues to go through the roof. This fund has a 5* rating with Morningstar.

Swell choice... Purchased this at $15.40, and expect to hang on for quite sometime... It has a solid business approach, and is a nice addition to your portfolio

With the price of gold continuing to go up and the Fed printing more money, I just don't see any stabilization in our economy anytime soon. Go gold and this is a cheeper way to get into it.

If you believe inflation and devaluation of all currencies with time, you got to keep some of your assets in physical gold. This is the easiest and most lower cost investment vehicle.

Investment vehicle for physical gold. With current policies causing devaluation of the dollar, this is a no-brainer inflation hedge.

There's going to be a spike in this due to the shortage of supply. Since most investors are looking for safety from what has happen in Libya and Japan. I say that it will hit $27.00 before the end of this month. I brought at $10.57 and it's gone up beautifully. Obtain this opportunity before it disappears.

The reasons are the same as the GLD etf. this is a cheaper alternative to GLD etf.

Just remember this: although gold prices may experience some serious pull backs in the near term. This would only be a healthy pull back. We are still in a precious metal bull market. Also, the driver are not just "currency risk" hedging, there is also incredible demand from around the world!

In this political climate, gold should continue to make good gains. Even the bad guys will need more gold.
IAU with its lower price, will be more attractive to investors than GLD.

will outperform in the short run from rising gold prices but when people realize the difference between paper gold and physical gold and costumers start demanding physical delivery GLD will default. I will change to "underperform" once we get confirmation that this is happening.
