Long-Term Prospects Good for Gold Bugs
by Dan Pavilonis
Gold has rallied above $1,000 an ounce this month, and I think prospects look good for the bulls. The market could be forming a short-term top, however, and I see a correction likely to give investors an opportunity to purchase at lower levels. Heading into 2010, I think [...]
