The bond markets are one indicator. With a 30 year bond going for 4.5% they state low or little inflation. The bond market has been wrong in the past, and I'm not sure I'll risk my entire portfolio on this classic stat. Most debt purchased lately has been under 10 years and could have massive repercussions in the future. "What price should gold be sitting at today based on the inflation estimates?" Great question! Gold itself is also a hard item to price for various factors: - Market size of gold sellers and buyers - The manipulation by central banks - The increase of emerging market countries purchasing gold (ie China) No different than purchasing stocks, it's a fools game to time it. I would rather buy in little amounts over a long period of time for these reasons, than stuck on what price to purchase it at. “I’m curious how much inflation the market is anticipating a decade from now.”

Great question! Gold itself is also a hard item to price for various factors:
- Market size of gold sellers and buyers
- The manipulation by central banks
- The increase of emerging market countries purchasing gold (ie China)

No different than purchasing stocks, it’s a fools game to time it. I would rather buy in little amounts over a long period of time for these reasons, than stuck on what price to purchase it at.

Gold may be worth $1000 to $2000 (or more) per ounce in the future thanks to the funny money we printed, but with little to no inflation in 2009 and the government's ability to manipulate the markets, I'm curious how much inflation the market is anticipating a decade from now. Perhaps another way of asking this is: what price should gold be sitting at today based on the inflation estimates? I've yet to see a good answer on this question, so I'll be sitting on the sidelines until I do. I’m with you on the short term bubble.
