You should own some gold, because one day you will want to, but will be unable to buy it.

Here is a scenario: one day you wake up and see the news that the US Fed has purchased $1 trillion worth of US Treasury and agency securities from China. Of course this news will be released only after chinese have already converted their trillion dollars into gold or other currencies, they would not wish anyone run in front of them, in that case gold might open up 150-200 dollars higher that morning.
