A single ounce of gold completely de-mystified the so-called financial experts for me.
Written by: Jiayi
If I were to find, all at once, the people who have predicted the financial product—say, gold—with the highest accuracy throughout history: the most authoritative institutions, and the most famous analysts—then compare every one of their predictions with the actual results, to figure out “who’s the most accurate”... and then see what these “most accurate people” are saying about the future right now?
Then don’t I basically have the wealth “secret code” for this financial asset?
With that thought, I really went and did it. Using gold as the sample, I dug through more than a decade of prediction records.
For this investigation, we pulled out three categories of people: the very top Wall Street investment banks and industry institutions, the loudest big V’s in the gold space, and the “prophesy masters” who precisely predicted key turning points.
We looked at the data one by one.
We’ve laid out all the prediction data we found here
