As gold pushed higher and higher into uncharted territory in recent weeks, even die-hard enthusiasts warned that the rapid rally was getting out of hand. Now, with prices plunging, they’re keeping faith that bullion’s longer-term bull market isn’t over yet.
Kevin Smith, who runs the $420 million Crescat Capital hedge fund, has been bullish on gold since 2019, when prices were trading below $1,500 an ounce. After a 6.5% selloff over the past two days that’s taken prices near $4,000, he says it’s still a buy.
