RE: Why should gold appreciate so much faster than inflation? Its a known valued commodity that has been around for quite a while. Certainly there are uses that consume some quantity of gold but I would think much of it is stored in secured repositories. I am genuinely interested to learn why gold is expected to appreciate at an accelerated rate going forward?

Many reasons; Currency debasement; demand from retail investors (like me) in the form of ETFs, banking instability, Central Banks from foreign countries moving away from the U.S. Dollar.

I don't know what a fair price is for gold, but I think the momentum is still building, same with silver and most hard assets. That is why I diversified my portfolio with hard assets by buying EDGH.
I think the Federal Reserve is moving off the 2% inflation mandate and that is going to help all the above including stocks and hurt the dollar.

I'm buying the 100% buffered funds with a good chunk of my cash because I think rates on CDs, MMs and other short term rates are going down. The buffered funds are linked to the indexes and cap around 6-7%, I'll take that as a cash substitute. If the market is down, no harm, no foul, I'll still have my principle minus 0.69%. I like those odds.
