As gold scales newer and newer heights, the question on the minds of many a savvy investors is the party nearing an end?

Money will likely start to flow out of gold as more attractive assets emerge. Assets that stand a chance to gain from further weakness in the USD and to a lesser extent, the GBP and EUR. Assets that shouldn't nosedive should it turn-out that the recovery in industrial commodities was purely a result of the Chinese government's USD 586 Billion stimulus package, and that demand appears to limp as the stimulus runs out.
