When it comes to gold and precious metals, investors seem to find no middle ground: They are either huge gold bulls or bugs who believe that gold will soar in sort of an investment-doomsday scenario, or gold bears who feel gold has overdone its run, doesn’t earn interest, and is a relic of the past. Warren Buffett himself once said that gold just sits there.
However, gold’s properties and its ability to stand the test of time -- and currencies -- give it value. We don’t use tetradrachms (the currency of ancient Greece) any more , which was debased to almost nothing. The pound used to be sound, but has lost 70% of its value against the US dollar since the fall of the British Empire. The dollar itself has lost 90% of its value against everything since the 1913 Federal Reserve Act was passed, and it has lost about 60% against most major currencies since the 1960s.
Gold has, despite what its naysayers say, kept its value against inflation and paper currencies that have come and gone. Yet gold still trades in major cycles, having outperformed equities and other assets during the 1970s, underperformed during the '80s and '90s, and outperformed again since bottoming in 2001.
So the question arises: Does gold have further to climb, or was August 2011 the top of the current cycle?
In 1980, gold spiked and blew off to $850 an ounce, then collapsed to $280 an ounce by mid 1982.
Gold climbed from $35 per ounce to nearly $200 per ounce in January 1974, then fell to $103 per ounce in August 1976. This was a 21-month decline that took 45% off the price of gold. After this decline, gold climbed over 800% in the next three-plus years. It took around five to six months for the 1976 market to bottom (which would have us breaking out later in the year).
