, the price of gold should continue to rise long term. In my opinion, the odds dictate, gold could well be over $2000 an ounce in the next few years. It could possibly go much higher than that. If you see gold rally an incredible amount, in a relatively short period of time, this most likely would mean that gold prices are topping out. In technical terms, it is called a climax price run. That would be the time to sell all your gold, and collect your substantial profits.
