McGuire stands alone in his prediction that gold will reach $10,000 per ounce. He started buying gold early in 2007 at $650 per ounce. He was able to convince the Teacher Retirement Fund to buy gold. So far, his gold fund is up 25% over the past year. The gold fund has half of its assets in the SPDR Gold Trust (SPY).
