John Embry – Canadian gold expert talks to The Gold Report on his view of gold in 2010. The bottom line? A big rise. Here is an excerpt: "The Gold Report: John, in Investors Digest of Canada you recently said you're expecting gold to gain another 30% this year.
John Embry: I would say at least 30%. I said that I thought it would be the best year to date. We've had nine years consecutive higher year-end prices and the best year in that span for a year's return was 31%. I think this will be the year that we exceed it in this, the 10th year of the bull market.
TGR: What's driving this? Why is this year going to be the best year?
JE: I think we're getting very close to the point when a greater proportion of the public realizes the degree of difficulty that sovereign debt is in. And at that point, when you can't depend on your government paper as a safe haven, I think that fact puts gold in a much better light in more people's eyes." Read more here: Gold will rise
