Spot Gold Prices Eye $1,500
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Spot gold prices were popping Thursday afternoon as gold advisors continued eying $1,500 gold.
"I expect before the year is over we'll see $1,500 or close to it," says Gold and Energy Advisor editor James DiGeorgia.
Spot gold prices, he believes, will climb to $1,700 and even spike at $2,000 in 2011 given the implementation of QE2.
As long as economic policies continue to favor the weaker dollar, Gregory Marshall, the CEO of precious metals wholesaler Global Asset Management, sees gold hitting $1,500 soon.
Nicholas Brooks, head of research and investment strategy for ETF Securities, tells
TheStreet's
Alix Steel that a correction in gold prices is possible, but would likely be temporary.
"So my sense is sure, you can always have a correction; it's normal to have corrections; but I think there are enough large investors waiting in the sidelines that any correction is relatively short-lived."
