Gold for me remains just catastrophe insurance. I bought it along with palladium between 2000 and 2004 or so, and have no intention of touching it. Right now it's a bit more than 5% of my portfolio (i don't count real estate in my pf). I have to admit that gold has been one of the best performers in my pf this decade. The pf right now is: 38% cash -- 90% USD 10% Euro. 19% stocks -- large cap mostly high dividend US stocks. 38% bonds -- 50% US munis, 20% Asian/emerging markets, 28% US TIPS & corporate investment grade, 2% junk. 5% pm -- 75% gold 25% palladium. I have no hedges presently.
