Here is a new perspective on gold investing, which should contrast
with many existing books on the matter, because:
- It presents an analytical framework for gold valuation,
- It details winning investment strategies, and
- It keeps a non-US centric international perspective.
On the contrary, most common approaches are done for US-based
investors with a pure USD reference, and they often fail to
rationalize gold investing into a testable framework. As a result,
gold prices are explained by anecdotal and un-testable random
factors such as psychology, one-time events, chartist techniques,
etc. This lack of rigor in the field of gold investing has open a void
for dubious rationale, most often flirting with conspiracy theories,
which in the end absurdly justifies purchasing gold at any prices...
