  • A historic year for gold: Could prices climb higher in 2026?

    From finance.yahoo.com

Since the odds are that there is no bubble, Meta Apple Nvidia Google Amazon all make a lot of money and trade at reasonable P/E ratios and are the leading ai companies, then you are basically saying gold is most likely to go down.
