Philippe Herlin : Ben Bernanke re-elected !
Published Nov 8, 2012 on Goldbroker
During his campaign, Mitt Romney had stated that, should he win, he would get rid of the FED’s Chairman, Ben Bernanke. That strong statement means he was going to address the U.S. economic problems the right way, by slowing and then stopping the FED’s debt buy-back program, which is what makes the budget deficit seem painless. Case in point, why worry about balancing public accounts if the FED keeps buying most of the State bonds that finance this deficit ?
Bernanke stands behind this policy of monetizing the public debt, while waiting for an hypothetical growth rally, and does not seem to understand that this huge flow of money, combined with very low interest rates, actually hampers productive investments while, on the contrary, it fosters speculative bubbles on commodities and keeps the stock market artificially going well.
All this money printing contributes to the devaluation of the dollar, and Mario Draghi’s BCE is traveling the same road in Europe. So, of course, all of this is fundamentally bullish for gold.

The problem is that some predictions are only wishful thinking, others are obvious disinformation designed to scare investors away from gold, and many are not grounded in hard data and clear analysis. Other analysis is excellent, but both the process and analysis are difficult to understand. Is there an objective and rational method to project a future gold price that will make sense to most people?
