Ian Gordon, President of Longwave Analytics is sticking by his call that the Dow is headed to 1,000.

We are still in a “Kondratieff winter”, he says, but central bank money printing is delaying the clearance of the enormous debt accumulated over the three former Kondratieff seasons. Natural market forces, however, will overpower central bank interference, there is significant downside risk for stocks, and we will return to “natural” (i.e., gold and silver) money.

Hong Kong-based private investor Michael Hampton returns, talking gold, the race between stocks and gold, and opportunities in gold mining shares.

The related charts are here.

Hampton makes the case that the gold price is currently marking a low in its long-term bull run. While there is a chance that the trend channel could be broken to the downside, the odds favour a continuation of the upward trend. If the gold price were to move back to the top range of the trend channel we could see $2,200 to $2,500 per ounce of gold.

Paul Tusatin of BullionVault discusses his recent analysis, Printing Money For Beginners And Experts.

BullionVault founder and CEO Paul Tustain has a background  in financial I.T. and settlement systems software. His previous business processed $120bn worth of stocks and bonds for major banks through London’s markets each day. He bought his first bar of gold in 2001 following the sale of his software business. But that gold was expensive and contractually complicated, and the poor experience led to his founding BullionVault. A sought-after commentator, Paul is regularly interviewed by the international media and widely published as an authority on the history and economics of gold investment.
