Is the Gold Rush Over?

Comparing Today's Gold Market to the 1970's: Is the Gold Rush Over? : - Lots of people are comparing today's gold market to the 1970's. Gold shot up to nearly $200 per ounce and crashed 9 months later to near $100 an ounce. Of course, gold had an historic rise to $850 per ounce after that wicked pull-back. Some, such as economist Nouriel Roubini, say "the gold rush is over," and the seventies are not going to repeat. The debt of today is greater by orders of magnitude from the 1970's, and there is no end in sight. That means gold has only one way to go (in the long term) and that's up.
