A lot of sites will show you the last 10 yrs gold prices on graphs..study them to see what pattern you can see ,and look if its at an all time high if it is ...well expect a drop sometime to happen to correct itself ..

The problem with the history is that you can really only look at stats since 1980

I take it a lot of nations stopped tying thier currency to gold back then? Something major had to happen then.
