Sprott Asset Management's Chief Investment Strategist, John Embry, recounted that at current levels, gold represents "one of the finest opportunities if not the best in the entire bull market which is in its 12 th year." Embry continued, "I think gold is going to $10,000 at some specific point and it should have nada to do with the cost to dig it out of the ground, it's going to have everything to do with the undeniable fact that people just don't think their cash is going to be worth anything."
"Gold is the mortal enemy of the fiat paper currency system that we are operating and have been operating for 40 years," Embry declared. "People are starting to realise this money is going to be turned into confetti and the authorities are scared witless they are intending to make the link that gold is a good idea...People aren't making the correct connection that gold is what you should be holding in this environment - that may change."
Mitsui Precious Metals researcher David Jollie declared, "There are loads of bulls out there. They're waiting for a trigger to send the price higher, and the question is, what's that trigger?"

Dennis Gartman, investor and editor of The Gartman Letter, related, "The gigantic trend, the long trend, the 200-day moving average type trend is still from the lower left to the higher right in gold. ".
