"What's the point of buying gold at the end of a recession when all the major restructurings have been made? People that hedged tech with energy 12 months ago got fucking slaughtered. I see no reason why gold would do much better this time around."

Gold has been in a 15 year bear market where in every financial institution has embraced paper assets with dubious financial reserve. We are at the end of a huge credit bubble, where major economies are rolling over and about to implode. Multi-billion dollar companies are vanishing, bonds defaulted and stocks plumeting. Why not own a hard asset? Gold minning stocks have low pe's pay divedends and their profit margins are increasing with the price of gold/ Your misunderstanding of Gold as a Hard asset is no diferent from people who misunderstood Qcoms position. I would also argue that the recession has hardly begun, and if you are right we will be hit by massive inflation by the money and asset appreciation a quick rebound would incur.
