Update: These 110 Analysts Believe Gold Will Go Parabolic to $3,000 or More!

More and more economists, analysts and financial writers, 122 in fact, have taken the bold step of projecting the price at which gold will achieve its parabolic peak. Some have adjusted their previous prognostications higher given gold’s strong advance again in 2010 while others have jumped aboard what has become a bandwagon of optimism. The majority (84) maintain that $5,000 or more for gold is possible. 6 individuals have even gone so far as to claim that the parabolic peak will be realized sometime in 2011.
As editor of www.FinancialArticleSummariesToday.com and www.munKNEE.com I have identified the individuals by name below and put them into descending categories of optimism. Those so interested can go here to access and assess the rationale and source of their forecasts.

Conclusion
There you have it. Who would have believed that so many distinguished analysts would maintain that gold, and by implication, silver, are likely to achieve such lofty levels as a result of the effects of our current financially troubled and volatile times? Their rationale is varied but each is sound in its own right.
Given the above price projections I think those who have yet to hop on the gold bandwagon should do so now and ride it home with substantial returns.
Yes, indeed, “Got Gold?”
Please note: If you believe you have found a name or two missing from the above list of prognosticators I would appreciate you sending me (editor@munKNEE.com) his/her name and the URL of the article in which the individual states his/her case so I can keep this article updated with the most comprehensive list available. To be included in the list only projections of gold achieving a parabolic top of at least $2,500 per ounce, accompanied by sound reasons, will be considered.
