Gold and silver is relative small market if compared to bond and stocks.
Gold is another asset market or asset class.
Bubble or not bubble, I don't know, I have no clue.
Gold is an asset that you cannot value on it.
Nobody know what is the worth of gold, we have no benchmark or valuation method that can decide what gold price should be.
It can be USD1600, it can be USD16000. Both level are same.
It all depended on buyer and seller willingness to pay for it.
Unlike properties, stocks, bonds, you can have valuation method based on return you can get from them, aka yield comparison, wealth generation.
The current gold market price aka USD1600 is also a from paper gold price, there is no real gold transacted directly but futures trading contract.
Physical gold price is based on paper gold transaction.
Ahem....you just said gold cannot be valued- that i kinda agree....Gold is another asset market or asset class.

so although physical gold is traded BASED on paper gold, paper gold is Not a reflection of the value.
Thus you see physical commanding higher premium to paper.
