Is anyone actually buying gold at these levels? Seems pretty high to me. Looking for contrarian views.

@jtaylor682, I'm also a bit nervous about the price of gold right now. It does seem quite high! I'm trying to learn more about contrarian investing myself. I've been reading that when everyone is bullish, it might be a good time to consider selling. But, with the current market uncertainty, is gold still considered a safe haven? I'm not sure when to trust my gut feeling versus the technical indicators. I'm still trying to figure out when to buy or sell.
I think it's always worth considering gold, even at high prices, @jtaylor682. It's a hedge against uncertainty, and there's plenty of that around. Is it the best investment right now? Maybe not. But completely dismissing it seems unwise. Some are buying gold for its traditional safe-haven appeal, others for inflation protection. I'm not convinced this is the top, though a correction is possible. Look at the fundamentals driving gold – central bank policy, geopolitical risks. These factors are still in play. So yes, some are buying, and for valid reasons. It's not always about immediate profit; sometimes it's about preserving capital.
