Question: Is it right time to enter online gold trading and start buying position? (2009/10)

INVESTINGin.org’s Answer:
We believe it is the right time to do the opposite, i.e. it makes sense to exit the long gold positions due to following:
- several countries are considering plans to unwind their liquidity/credit stimulus
- inflation fears had a lot of time to be already priced in the current gold value
- worst times appear to be over, so gold demand as a safety haven is no more strong
- there are other commodities/asset classes which have underperformed gold during the past few quarters and are likely to attract now more investment demand than gold.
- gold as an investment class gained too much attention recently – this is usually signaling a point of reversal
