The Week in Gold

By Minyanville Staff Jul 30, 2010 1:05 pm

Investors with every perspective weighed in. Here, Minyanville offers a recap on the hottest debate in the markets.



This week gold bears growled warnings of further declines, but bulls thought it was just a correction and that the lows are already in.

Some of the most talked-about stocks include Newmont Mining (NEM), which missed at the silly "beat the numbah" game, Barrick (ABX), Goldcorp (GG), and New Gold (NGD).

Investors spent much of the week asking if gold was going higher or lower? Is it in bubble territory? Is it used as a hedge on inflation or as a way to protect against currency debasement?

Minyanville covered all of this and more as the biggest debate in the financial markets rages on. Here you’ll find everything you need to know about the yellow metal.

Gold at Long Term Trend Support
Gold is now at my buy point of the rising long term trend support line. SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) touched that line six times, signifying that this trendline is a reliable point of support.
