Question

Gold soars past $4,000; why the record is a sign of uncertainty

Gold surged past $4,000 per ounce for the Gold surged past $4,000 per ounce for the first time late Monday, then again Tuesday, extending a rally that has lifted prices close to 50 percent since the start of the year.

Institutional investors, central banks and individuals have been snapping up the “safe haven” asset, feeding an upswing in prices that typically signals economic uncertainty. Gold’s latest string of record highs coincides with the government shutdown that began Oct. 1. But its 2025 run-up is rooted in ongoing trade policy and geopolitical tensions, gathering steam in April as President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs rattled markets. Prices jumped again in August and September as the U. S. job market showed signs of cooling.

“Momentum in gold has been unrelenting,” LPL Financial’s chief technical strategist, Adam Turnquist, said in a note to investors, adding that there have been about three “upside days” for gold to every downside day since mid-August.

People love to LARP an end of the world scenario where they own a mountain of gold (on paper because it's in the stock market right?) And they are king.

If the world goes to shit in a hand basket your Robinhood stock on gold dosen't mean jack shit. Even if you had a gold brick at home, who the fuck wants to trade you food or water for a sliver of metal?

BET YOUR ENTIRE NET WORTH on the financial world ending. Who the fucks paying out?

In the long run, what good will gold do you if the world falls apart? Can you eat it? Can you build with it? Can you trade for life saving essentials with it? Gold is only worth what someone will pay for it AS LONG AS there's an economy out there that values it, and can reciprocate with something YOU want that has value (i. e. money, for now)

Gold tends to be bought in times of uncertainty. Gold is also a relatively fixed quantity, so even a small increase in demand can really drive the price.

Gold is highly speculative. It also tends to be a cultish investment for all the Chicken Littles out there. I've known a lot of people who have bought gold. Personally I've never paid much attention to the gold market because of how speculative and cultish it is.

Gold is like the shock absorbers on a car. It absorbs all the little bumps, but has little affect on where the car is going.

The thing is about uncertainty in the markets, is that the markets (all markets) are almost constantly on the verge of panic. It's extremely reactionary. On top of that, only a tiny portion of invested money drives the prices.

If you look at someone who is not panic driven like Warren Buffet, who might be one of the best investors in history, he has consistently spoken out against gold. He doesn't consider it a real investment. There are investments and speculation, and he knows the difference.

The rise in gold prices reflects the market's uncertain outlook for the future. Geopolitical conflicts, fiscal deficits, and dollar fluctuations have all contributed to safe-haven demand. While short-term fluctuations are inevitable, the long-term outlook still depends on policy direction and real interest rates.

The stock market rally is propped up by individual retail investors making up 2/3 of all trades right now. Normally, only 30% or trades in the market are retail investors so this is a huge red flag for investors. Institutional investors are leaving the US market for now at least, and are either sitting on huge amounts of cash like Warren Buffet, moving money overseas or putting their money into metals.

it has gone up since Covid. It is usually high interest rates and economic uncertainty. Th democrats have shut down the government and the Fed is slow in reducing interest rates. Meanwhile the GDP has jumped 3/8% for the last quarter and all 3 major stock indexes are in record territory. Inflation has gone down since the first of the year but is still stubbornly above the 2% target rate.

I purchased silver a year ago at $28 an ounce. Now, as I check the spot price, it is worth over $48 an ounce. It reached over $49 earlier today. Many conservative podcasters and media personalities encouraged us for a few years now to stock up on precious metals. Many listened; many did not. You are a far-leftist, so you don't follow these crowds.

Gee whiz golly gosh, what a shocker. Volatility and uncertainty cause panics in securities markets. And people are just large lemmings for the most part. Who did not see this coming? And LOL, we're only seeing the beginning stages of the damage to the US economy so far. This wave needs another 12-24 months to crest.

We will once again be repairing the damage of another Republican administration for decades.
