Gold Will Hit $5,000 an Ounce, says expert

Commodities expert Peter Krauth - the editor of the Global Resource Alert advisory service and a frequent contributor to Money Morning - has predicted that gold prices are headed $5,000 an ounce over the next several years - but believes even bigger profits can be made right now.

Longtime commodities guru Peter Krauth touched off a real media buzz earlier this year when he publicly predicted that gold would hit $5,000 an ounce in the next few years - a projection he stands behind.

But here's the irony.

While Krauth's prediction would represent a total return of about 320% over that multi-year span, he says the potential returns on some of the near-term profit plays he's looking at are even bigger.

"These near-term opportunities are significant because the companies that explore and/or produce gold are leveraged to the price of gold," Krauth said in an interview with Money Morning. "So a 10% to 20% rise in gold's price could cause the share prices of some of these firms to gain 20% to 60% - or more - in a matter of months."
