Will the Government Take Your Gold?

by Greg Guenthner Daily Reckoning

Writing about gold sometimes lands me in hot water.

Readers have sent me more than my fair share of nastygrams over the past decade as gold chopped through a secular bear market.

If I marked up a chart that led me to believe the yellow metal was close to another breakdown, my inbox would overflow with letters from angry gold bugs.

Most dissenters were cordial enough. But a few would employ, well, let’s just say unique and colorful methods to express their distaste for my market opinions. Those emails always made me smile. It’s nice to know your work is appreciated!
