>>But more importantly, when the US came out with TIPS bonds, I think it drastically undercut the value of gold as an inflation hedge. When you can buy a bond that is indexed to inflation, is fully liquid, and backed by the full faith and credit of the elected government (who hope to be re-elected), I not sure what purpose gold serves except as a speculative investment.
