I am in gold pretty much for appreciation, and about 1/4 in case the sky should fall in. I expect the USD to lose that 20-30% against other currencies. I would not be surprised if some other currencies then get devalued about 5-15% over the next 5 years after the USD drops to maintain export competitiveness. If we look at monetery history since Nixon closed the gold window, there have been an oscillation between a too strong US dollar and a too weak. See Plaza Accord, etc. This should be a chart of the US Dollar index cash. mrci.com Note the gold price spiked earlier, and then somewhat opposite of the dollar index. mrci.com
