Time to buy gold?

Yes. Gold price falling, so cause a panic, gold price rises.

I'm beginning to think that when such articles are published, both journalistse and the people they quote should be forced to declare their own position on the market.

Every time I go to invest in shares recently I see something like this that makes me indecisive, just when I think the market has bottomed out, along comes the doom merchants to say it'll go even lower. I want to put a good few thousand into shares for a very long term investment but I'd rather do it right at the foot of the market.

I'd be a bit annoyed if I spent that money then shares fell by another 10-20%. That said, the market might make a huge recovery and I'll be annoyed at having missed out on the recent lows.

Well a few years ago some Mirror journalists got done for insider trading so it's worth taking all "news" items for third parties with a massive pinch of salt.

The market could crash within seconds.
The market could crash within minutes.
The market could crash within hours.
The market could crash within days.
The market could crash within weeks.
The market could crash within months.
The market could crash within years.
The market could crash within decades.

You have been warned! Take appropriate action!

Average into the market over a period of time. If you're investing for the longer term then this would be a more appropriate way to get into the market and not risk it in one big hit

If you're going to "invest" then buy shares in companies and industries that you know about. Do some research instead of being a sheep.
