Richard Russell says gold is on its way to $6,000:
This time, gold has, so far, only multiplied five times — from 255 to 1430. If gold was to repeat its 1970 performance and multiply 24 times, it would rise to over 6,000. But there’s a difference between the two gold bull markets: This time the other half of the world’s population (China, India, Asia) has been added to the mix. And this time, the very viability of fiat currencies is a part of the picture.
Richard Russell has since 1958 been editor-publisher of the Dow Theory Letters, which “cover the U.S. stock market, foreign markets, bonds, precious metals, commodities, economics — plus Russell’s widely-followed comments and observations and stock market philosophy.

Four Reasons Why the black gold will hit $100 in 2011.
- The continued falling dollar, there is a link between the dollar and oil. They move in opposite directions. as Dollar goes down, the price of oil goes up.
- The US Fed Bank continues printing dollars. The past few years have shown that the more cheap money in the system, the more money flows into commodities, in particular energy.
- The OPEC will continue protecting their cash cow. The cartel members may seek a higher price by as the depreciation of the greenback erodes the profitability of their dollar-denominated oil export.
- Growth in Emerging markets means demand for oil will remain strong going forward.
