Fascinating that the general comments here for years are hell bent on Australian property prices being a speculative bubble and the same time advocate buying gold at higher and higher prices. Gold is the ultimate speculative vehicle. But, I guess it’s shiny.

I think that is a good reason for the bid up on gold. People sont actually believe that.
