I'm not in any way saying that gold is a bad investment. It is commonly considered to be a safe hedge investment in uncertain markets. My main point is that big investors buying into gold (especially considering the recent price changes) is not a sign of the end times, and it is not an investment that will save you if the end times do come. Additionally, I believe it is very probable that the recent rise in gold prices is due to large investors buying in (which is not uncommon).
