Many strong Gold believers don't want to get involved in options trading. Nor fooling around with speculating on Natural Gas as "insurance". They use trailing stops on their longs. If liquidated, they re enter when technicals warrant. Much simpler.

Buy and hold isn't insurance- it's stupidity.
I'm up 120% over 5 years with my stupid strategy. It may not your or Slider's strategy but it's been successful for me and quite a few others. When you have lived in countries when their currencies became essentially worthless, the concept of precious metals as insurance becomes crystal clear.

Good trading to you.
