A chart of the crashing price of gold looks like a wedding ring rolling
off a table. Gold futures for June delivery closed at $1,361 an ounce on
the Comex in New York today, a drop of more than $200 in two sessions.
Gold’s fall of 13 percent since April 11 was the biggest two-session
decline since 1980.

Why is gold plunging? The most important factor is that global inflation
is falling, reducing gold’s value as a hedge against rising prices. Gold
bugs who were betting on an outburst of inflation are scrambling to
reverse their bets and exit their gold positions at any price.

Gold or any metal is not about the daily spot price. It is for the
long term.

Oil is going down too, that doesn't mean people are going to stop
using it any time soon.



"Using" gold is not the same as speculating on its appreciation. It's
just another way "investors" churn the economy without really
contributing or creating. It's not the same thing as farmers "hedging"
on their crops.
