Looks like gold rallied this week as shorts got squeezed, could be a turning point as the fourth quarter tends to be a period when gold rallies due to higher demand from India/China festival periods and usually goes into at least February due to Chinese new year.

Then there's the all the talk coming out that raising rates in September is now likely off the table but commentary I read says that the buildup to raising rates has already been priced in and even if rates go up, they'll stay low for a very long time and comfortably below the rate of inflation (which is higher than what's reported). Plus we have an overdue stockmarket correction (Dow closed down 500pts on Friday).

Then last week I read Druckenmiller (Soros ex partner) put a big bet on Gold in second quarter:

I would suggest your timing is good.... it's prudent for everyone to have (at least) 10% exposure to gold and/or silver but physical should ideally be geographically diversified from a storage point of view. Whilst I very much doubt the US would confiscate people's gold again, it might be sensible to store outside your country of residence because when things turn bad your government will love your gold as much you do.
