"Gold has really underperformed other froth assets like bitcoin by incredible amounts, almost inconceivable amounts since that peak in gold above $2,000.”
"Long-term gold is pretty interesting. Our model shows that gold is at fair value at $1,761.”
"We don't think the decline in gold is likely to continue."
"Gold is very likely to bounce because the selloff has been pretty powerful."
"The Fed chooses to be unconcerned about a period of time with inflation running above 3%.”
