Stocks falling wouldn’t necessarily cause gold to do the same. But lately they’ve both been the beneficiaries of the liquidity that’s flooding in from the world’s central banks. So it’s not unreasonable for gold to fall if declining stocks lead to renewed deflation fears. Look for a lot of comparisons between the current market and that of 1931.
So -- again with the caveat that I’m the world's worst trader -- this seems like a pretty good time to bet on a temporary drop in the price of gold. But only for traders. Most people with money in precious metals and long time horizons should play golf or hang out with the kids for another five years while the broad, long-term forces of monetary destruction work their magic. But if you’re someone who can't help playing with his money once in a while, the nice pop that the junior miners, for instance, have seen lately might be a good excuse to raise some cash.
