Interesting and intelligent take on China/inflation. I guess I would tend to agree in the long term, but I would think the effects would take some time to be felt by the market (1-2 years minimum). Markets do not "open" on a dime regardless of what an agreement might say.

However, that said I don't think one needs more than 10-15% exposure to gold for it to have an effect on your portfolio if prices/inflation skyrockets. Currently I have about 2.5% in AEM my only gold stock. If I continue to see merit in your and Slider's posts regarding gold I may increase it to 10%, but probably not much more.

I'm certainly no gold bug yet. But if I'm going to hold cash anyway and if the gold stocks look like they'll at least hold their ground then I may increase my stake in the gold/basic commodities sector (just in case two smart guys are correct).
