I suggest that it could happen even earlier than that.
I thought that $2000 gold would happen by end of this year BUT Gold hit $1896 tonight probably on Asian demand, so 2000 could be here before end of this month.
If so then what of the rest of the year?
So what I am saying is that gold price appreciation has aquired parabolic acceleration and events are happening faster than anticipated. It was so 31 years ago and history does repeat.
In theory $5000 gold could be here by end of 2012.
However theory and practice rarely coincide especially when that practice is heavily manipulated and due to that manipulation it could explode at just about any time.
It is a ticking time bomb after all.
Consider listening to following of Lawrence Roulston about gold disconnect with Gold stocks. It applies to all heavily demanded metals not just gold.

I am past dreaming, I am now hoping and waiting anxiously.
Cheers to the prospects and all patient holders.
