Some gold traders feel that spot gold could go beyond $2,960, in 2010.  Their reasoning is that we are getting to the point in the gold market where some of the really strong, big players — by that, I’m saying commodity funds with hundreds of millions of dollars — are saying gold is should easily be rising to $2,000.

The spot gold price opened down over $46.00 an once, but, closed down just $20.70 on the Dubai debt news. Dubai’s debt crisis rattled world financial markets today, raising concerns that some banks could further tighten lending and stall the global economic recovery.

When its call comes, like Cinderella, it will rise for its performance to be recognized as the real star of the event.
