The Gold Report: John, gold didn’t hit its traditional summer slump, so what are we expecting gold to do here for the second half of the year?

The United States is “already in recession… perhaps not in the sense that economists would define it [with two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product (GDP)] but the people are already feeling the effects,” Buffett said. “It will be deeper and last longer than many think.”
