Will gold be appreciating significantly during this coming year, fall to and languish at a low prior to the gold reset, or stay rangebound, caused by the overall market uncertainty accompanying ups and downs from periodic tidal power outages? What can we expect, given the increasing pressures from many factors on the financial system?

We do not see gold breaking out to the upside. It will be doing well to get into the range of the current high over the time until the gold reset takes place later this coming year. That does not make it a poor investment, as it will be one of the very few things that will turn out to be lucrative because the gold reset will generate fortunes for those lucky enough to have invested in gold or gold mining stocks prior to the reset. Even purchases at an interim high will still soar following the reset, so it is hard to really go wrong unless there is a purchase at a high point but one is then forced to sell during a downturn, for example, in response to a need to generate cash for obligations. That will clearly bring a loss. The same will be true for those who cannot hang on through downturns and stay the course but sell out of fear. As with all speculative investments through the marketplace, buying high and selling low is a prescription for failure. This is why we recommend that people dollar cost average through deciding how much money they can afford to deploy at intervals as an investment in gold in some form and let it sit, no matter what happens, until the advent of the reset at least, before cashing out.
