Gold will rise through $2,000 an ounce very quickly (read here as within about a year, by end of 2015).

“it'll go through $2,000 very quickly, and people will be upset that they didn't buy gold at $1,700.”

Outcome

Right, but late Happened 4 August 2020.

Gold kept falling after October 2014 (about $1,060 by December 2015, per CNBC). It first crossed $2,000 an ounce on August 4, 2020, nearly six years later, which is not "very quickly." The window end of 2015 is my reading of "very quickly"; any reasonable short window gives the same outcome.
