Iso, Sorry, I'm afraid I wasn't clear. I didn't mean to suggest that you should have an allocation of assets to gold, or anything else, other than what you think best. The question I was trying to get at is this: if we are wrong about gold as a good investment (whether we have one dollar in the gold markets, or everything up to and including a second mortgage on the house), why will we be wrong? What might we be missing? I am more vitally interested in why I might be wrong than why I might be right. I identify two sources of trouble for the gold bull: falling energy prices, and government. But a third is probably the most important of all --- fashion. A fair number of people would probably rather go broke than think of themselves as flake investors in the barbaric relic.....
