I am not sure about how good a hedge gold is these days, but I am sure that it is insurance for a large scale disaster. What will happen to US debt paper if some lunatic sets off one of the Russian suitcase sized bombs in DC or NY? How about a once a century sized earthquake in San Francisco or LA? What is the probability or something like this? I don't know, but, I feel that it's like house insurance - pray you never need it. Maintaining some sort of coverage is probably wise.
