I've been in Gold for a couple of years now, following forums all the time. If I have one observation, it is that people into Gold are bipolar - when it is going up, they see no upper limit. If it takes a hit, they see no bottom.
All I can say is look at a five year chart, and you will see that the smackdown from $1000+ is completely irrelevant and a healthy part of the Gold bull market. I am going to have some more powder to set off shortly, and I am happy to sit back and wait for someone to make my next Gold purchase cheaper.
It wasn't always this easy, I've sat glued to charts set to ticker refresh for a bit longer than is healthy. As Puplava would say, ask yourself 'what has changed?' before deciding that Gold is on a downslide.
