Marc Faber, international investor extraordinaire, sees dips in the price of gold as buying opportunities. Recurring crises (e.g. Dubai, Greece) add power to his argument. Dollar rallies occur while these crisis unfold, putting downward pressure on gold (and anything else priced in USD).

However, the solution to these crises are usually to prop up insolvent states and companies by printing money. This further de-bases currencies around the world, and as the crises abate the long-term trend (currency devaluation against hard assets) continues.

Faber specifies:

“When Greece is bailed out, it’s a further indication that paper money is losing its purchasing power because it’s diluted through larger and larger bailouts and more and more deficits,” Faber said.
