Gold is a precious metal that can be found on the periodic table under the Au symbol, which is Latin for Aurum. It is a supple, glossy, yellow, solid, malleable, and spongy metal. In the past, gold has had many uses, including money currency, jewelry, electronics and it has been used by dentists for teeth fillings. Gold occurs in nature as either large chunks called nuggets or in small flakes which must be melted together. The exact date of the first human use of gold remains unknown, but is suspected to be first found by prehistoric cave men and used as a tool. The first recorded use of gold is dated to 4000BC in Eastern and Central Europe.

Until recently gold prices have been on a tear. After decades of going nowhere, gold has had a year of steadily rising prices, that is until two weeks ago. It appears the hedge fund investors who bid the price up, have decided to take their profits. Gold prices plunged and many financial analysts have proclaimed that the bull market in gold is over. Is it? Price charts are one way to look at the situation, however we need to dig deeper into the fundamentals to see what the prospects are. As the hedge fund investors have dumped gold, there is evidence new hands are coming into the market. As some investors leave, and new ones replace them, the volatility in gold prices will remain high. What we need to ask is are these new investors speculators or is there some fundamental reason new investors are coming into the market?

Sometimes this strategy works, but most of the time, it doesn't.  When you invest your money in a mutual fund, you are trusting someone to invest in the stock market for you. Because of this, you want to be sure this person knows what he or she is doing. Also, you want to make sure that this person is not charging you too much to manage your money for you.
