well i personally dont think the current Gold bull market is near its end. actually with Global turmoil increasing, gold becomes a better buy. Look at the sub-prime fiasco in the states, many investors fled to Gold as a safe haven.
Also, since everyone seems to posting articles now. i thought id add my 2 cents lol
