Bullish on gold since it carried a $400-per-ounce price tag, Blue Phoenix Chief Investment Strategist John Licata expects the king of metals to ring in the New Year with a $1,200-per-ouncecrown. Interview with The Gold Report.
TGR: Speaking of metals, your outlook for gold?
JL: I continue to maintain that we could see $1,200 gold prices by year-end. I think gold is very much on the way to hitting that pretty aggressive price target. The miners themselves seem pretty confident on the upside for gold. We’ve been hearing CEOs from various gold companies, including Goldcorp (TSX:G) (NYSE:GG) and Agnico-Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM), saying that we’re probably going to end the year with gold north of $1,000.
TGR: In April, you described gold as one of the best asset plays in the world and your recommendation to investors was to focus initially on physical gold. Have you changed that viewpoint?
