Sprott Asset Management's Chief Investment Strategist, John Embry, recounted that at current levels, gold represents "one of the best opportunities if not the finest in the whole bull market which is now in its 12th year." Embry continued, "I think gold is going to $10,000 at some particular point and it's going to have zilch to do with the price tag to dig it out of the ground, it's going to have everything to do with the indisputable fact that folk simply do not think their money is going to be worth anything."
"Gold is the mortal enemy of the fiat paper currency system that we are operating and have been operating for forty years," Embry declared. "People are starting to realise that this cash is going to be turned into confetti and the authorities are scared to death that they are about to make the connection that gold is a good idea...People are not making the correct connection that gold is what you should be holding in this environment - that may change."
