Here is a new perspective on gold investing, which should contrast

with many existing books on the matter, because:

- It presents an analytical framework for gold valuation,

- It details winning investment strategies, and

- It keeps a non-US centric international perspective.

On the contrary, most common approaches are done for US-based

investors with a pure USD reference, and they often fail to

rationalize gold investing into a testable framework. As a result,

gold prices are explained by anecdotal and un-testable random

factors such as psychology, one-time events, chartist techniques,

etc. This lack of rigor in the field of gold investing has open a void

for dubious rationale, most often flirting with conspiracy theories,

which in the end absurdly justifies purchasing gold at any prices...
