12-month price forecast: $1,175/toz

Current price: $1,331/toz

After a near term estimate above current estimate, Goldman expects gold prices will decline "given our US economists’ forecast for improving economic activity and a less accommodative monetary policy stance." Their 2014 year-end forecast is $1,050/toz.

Sounds good to me. I bought some for my family at 1286.6, but none for myself. At Goldman's price, I would probably have to rebalance in.

Of course, the only thing we know is going down soon is Steven Cohen.

That's a trap.

Goldman always tells the public to sell whatever Goldman wants to buy, and vice versa.

Libertarian666 - you may be right
and as MT indicated it may be a trap but they did a forecast in Feb which for the most part has turned out to be true.
Of course past prediction are no indication of the future. Let's see what happens end of year

The good call earlier in the year is what I am basing my "it's a trap" comment on now.

Maybe Goldman Sachs is just putting some research out there, but I sense it's more like "Look at our good call earlier in the year...it's obvious the price of gold has nowhere to go but down...a short position is very safe now..." And then, sometime between now and the end of the year--POW!--right in the kisser.
