[Bill Douglas]

What are your thoughts regarding gold prices?

A few people, who think of themselves as being in the know, feel it could go up another 50% in three years time. I don't see why because it is not really needed, it's just a way to safe guard against the government printing money and collapses of economies. I kind of see it as the currency of the "world wide bank" and doesn't pay interest, but I accept this is a simplistic view.

The beauty of gold is it doesn't dissapear when you get it wrong - quite unlike the stock market.

I know it's creeping up at the moment, but what rate for the next three to five years in your opinion?
