I expect gold will be a reasonable haven, but not perfect. Because the gold market is small enough to be manipulated for the short term, gold holders might find other assets bottoming and then spiking upward (meaning opportunity going away) while gold stays in a trading range before it reaches its' (gold's) peak values. Numerous forms of energy (coal, oil, NG, uranium, etc.) may be a better bet, and other asset classes - real estate, silver, platinum, who knows what else... The other conclusion I come to is that it possible for the value of ALL asset classes to drop, leaving no good places to hide. This can be attributed to a change in investor's time horizons to much shorter. This usually occurs as the result of uncertainty - like now. A possible attack on Iran, worldwide depression, banks failing - any of those would qualify.
