Wall Street Greek: Gold Bubble

Everybody and his financial planner seem to favor gold these days, at least on the parallel reality that is business television. Some like gold because of the current uncertainty plaguing Europe, with the upcoming Brexit vote in focus. Others proclaim gold’s merits because of the Fed’s decision to refrain from rate action in June, and because of the market’s expectation for no action until December. But gold favor based on these factors is set upon false premise, in my view, and so a gold bubble has been inflated. I expect it will burst as current expectations are replaced by a different reality over the next couple months. Thus, I continue to recommend the sale of gold securities and also hedging against long-term physical gold holdings, which are always recommended for long-term diversification and wealth protection. See this full story at Gold Bubble - Part I (on Brexit).
