Gold Futures Lie Ahead

Gold Futures Lie Ahead
9/18/07

Gold is going up and is going to continue to go up until the next Fed meeting at the end of October. And it is official - interest rates have been cut by half a point and all of the emotional emini speculators have bought in. What a good day for all of the emini indices. Gold is on my mind again and here's why.

Many believe that the rate cut should not have happened, but nevertheless, it did so now a few speculators, hedge fund managers, and big institutional investors can make money. What's done is done. So what can we do to make money off of what was done? Invest in gold futures.

Let's argue this first. Gold is over $700 an ounce right now which is pretty high. At a glance, that's a pretty bad entry point, right? Not at all. See the U.S. dollar, which just recently hit an all time low against the Euro, is headed even lower. Our precious dollar was recently sacrificed for the sake of institutional investor's ability to borrow at cheap prices. They kicked the dollar while it was down. This is a classic opportunity to get into a gold futures contract or two. $800 an ounce is just around the corner.

What a suprise. In 3 months, take a guess at what's going to be making the financial news headlines. Inflation. And when it does, say hurray and thanks for the suggestion to invest in gold futures when the Fed was beating the dollar down further by cutting interest rates. I cannot see or speculate any decent emini trading from what happened recently with the rate cuts, but I can see gold.
