Global market strategist Don Coxe, chairman of Coxe Advisors, said he believes in "a hitherto-undiscovered erogenous zone in gold bugs: peak gold-which could be the latest Big Thing since peak oil."
In his latest Basic Points, Hard Rocks and Hard Shocks, Coxe credits "Aaron Regent, Barrick's market-savvy new CEO" for "fueling the flames of desire" through the concept of peak gold.
Regent has noted "that new mined production of gold has been declining for a decade," suggesting this could prove to be the equivalent of peak oil, the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline.
Much of the recent commentary on gold, Coxe said "is that Obama's deficits, coupled with Bernanke's money-printing, could produce either a Depression or runaway inflation. To us, this is an argument investors really should take seriously."
Coxe advised that "a holding of gold and gold sticks offers excellent protection under both extremes, and attractive potential under a regime of moderate inflation and modest recovery."
Peak gold theory gains impressive adherents
