Gold, After Record Set, Makes The Daily Mail

The inroads into the mainstream media continue for gold. Usually, the first mentions of gold are skeptical. Not in the case of this Daily Mail article, which is a compendium of expert advice on whether or not to buy gold. A majority of them think that gold is likely to go up from here, although not by all that much, and recommend either buying or holding. There are three "Avoids" in the eight forecasts therein.


It's unusual to see a regular media outlet simply asking a variety of experts about gold rather than getting a columnist to weigh in. The Daily Mail is sometimes looked down upon because of its tabloidesque content, but this column shows that any such disdain is sometimes unwarranted.
