I do not consider that gold is a good asset for an investment right now. I think we will see gold beneath 1000$ quite soon. I am wondering how do you know that gold will go up in the near future? In my opinion gold may be an excellent asset in case of a long term investment when you are ready to hold an asset an year and more.
A year is not a long term investment. I would say 3-5 years are mid term with 5 years plus long term.
Fundamentals are good for gold but as with everything else it is all manipulated. All I know for sure if precious metals and BTC are both better than any fiat right now.
Just have to sit tight and wait for when the big players decide to pump and make some big money.
