Gold has regained its status as an investment vehicle. It's one of the better performing assets in 2005, and I expect gold to work up to $600 next year.

Gold is consolidating after reaching new ground. The target this week has been to close above $600, and now the market is waiting for the next push.

The real driver of the gold price continues to be lack of selling, leaving a small volume of investment/speculative buyers calling the shots.

Investment in gold in Malaysia is still very much in the infancy stage. People here buy gold for aesthetic purposes and gifts.

We want to see whether or not the following months follow on up out of here after September gets out of the way. We could be looking at the highs right now.

It's like predicting the market. You like to see someone else's analysis of what might happen.
