Why the Gold Rally Has Some Feeling Cheated

Sorry bears, you lose. In a year-long tug-of-war over gold, the bulls just pushed the price of an ounce to a record high of $1,045.

But not everyone is rejoicing. Particularly, the gold bugs in the euro-zone and Japan. While gold hit a record high in dollar terms, the price is still 10% below its high when quoted in euros or yen.

Such an anomaly demonstrates how gold’s latest jump has more to do with the weakening greenback than anything else. In fact, should the dollar suddenly change course (gain strength), the gold rally could be short-lived.

I’ll concede, that’s unlikely. Which brings us to the more important takeaway.

If the dollar continues its slide and demand for gold ticks even higher… look out! Prices of the sought-after metal could zoom higher still. (Recall, I just made the case that gold could soon fetch $1,300 an ounce.)

That brings us to another unhappy gold investor, our very own Louis Basenese.

Remember, he’s been bearish on gold for quite some time. He even recommended going short on the shiny metal in February. (Ouch!)

However, he’s not only ready to man up to his mistake. But he’s also sharing a secret that he says will allow him to keep making bold calls… without any fear of regret, or worse, massive losses.

Ahead of the tape,

The Single Best Investment for 2009

Forget another stimulus package. Or retreating into "safe-havens" like cash and gold. All you need in 2009 is a small exposure to the "secret" White Cap Index.

It's up as much as 171% straight through Wall Street's meltdown. And one of the latest stocks to be added - an Internet-related venture capital company - is up over 100% since its inclusion into the Index.

Just weeks from now, we'll add another White Cap stock to this market-trouncing index. To get a sneak peek, click here for full details.
