If gold's price implodes then what goes up?
It's not clear that anything needs to go up if gold goes down. In a bubble, asset prices can just collapse, without some other asset increasing to compensate. Economies are not a zero-sum game. On the other hand, gold may fall when people decide they don't need to hoard some store of value that, to their minds, never changes. It could very well indicate that there is more confidence in the broader economy.  I am not a gold bug, so I don't much see the point in "investing" in something that is non-productive and also inedible, but to each his own.
