        <Name>Is a Gold Asset Bubble Forming?</Name>
        <Summary>China concerned? Or China trying to encourage lower prices so it can buy?</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;As gold prices continue to head north of &lt;a title="gold bubble, gold prices, China, U.S. dollar, silver, bubble, investing" target="_blank" href="http://blog.gftuk.com/public/item/246433"&gt;$1,200 an ounce&lt;/a&gt;, some investors are starting to get a little jittery about the possibility of a gold bubble as investors blindly rush to get into gold and out of the &lt;b&gt;U.S. dollar&lt;/b&gt;. Indeed, there are some who contend that the real place to be right now is &lt;a title="gold bubble, gold prices, China, U.S. dollar, silver, bubble, investing" target="_blank" href="http://www.banks.com/blogs/investing/2009/11/13/is-now-a-good-time-to-invest-in-silver/"&gt;silver&lt;/a&gt; -- gold is just too hot.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;And the fact that gold is so hot is one of the subjects of a warning issued by the vice governor of the People's Bank of China, &lt;b&gt;Hu Xiaolian&lt;/b&gt;. He warns that gold might be forming an asset bubble right now. An asset bubble that could burst at any time. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;But is China really interested in staving off a &lt;b&gt;gold bubble&lt;/b&gt; for the good of the world? With China &lt;a title="gold bubble, gold prices, China, U.S. dollar, silver, bubble, investing, Hu Xiaolian" target="_blank" href="item/227630"&gt;diversifying its investments&lt;/a&gt; over the past year, the indications might be that there is something else at work. The Street reports on some of the &lt;a title="gold bubble, gold prices, China, U.S. dollar, silver, bubble, investing, Hu Xiaolian" target="_blank" href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10636697/1/china-warns-on-gold-prices.html?puc=_tscrss"&gt;rumors concerning China's motives for the warning&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
  &lt;blockquote&gt; 
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;It was recently rumored that China could be a buyer of the remaining
200 tons of gold from the IMF.&lt;b&gt; Some analysts speculate that perhaps
China is trying to bring gold prices down to more attractive buying
levels&lt;/b&gt;. However, Jon Nadler, senior analyst at Kitco.com, argues that
&amp;quot;central banks in general look at foreign reserve management as an
ongoing policy.... Price is really not an issue, it's a percentage
issue.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
  &lt;/blockquote&gt; 
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;No matter the reason that China issued the warning, though, it is sound. &lt;b&gt;Something that is gaining in value this fast really is in danger of turning into a bubble&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
