She's avoiding it for now. The interview is tremendous, she's very sharp. I'm amazed at how the best, most objective analysis is coming from women - Tavakoli, Prins, and a lot of others too numerous to mention. An apostate, excommunicated from the Goldman Sachs Church of G*d's Work.

I think it would be great to avoid gold. Gold has a big red target painted on it and there will always be powerful forces gunning to try and take it down. But the next question is harder. If not gold, what? And I think to that there are some good answers, but the best ones to me involve taking a more active role in the investment. In other words, they are not really comparable to gold as a simple means to store wealth Other answers I guess would be to try and mix it up with some other assets classes that will survive through economic turbulence (industrial metals, collectibles, gemstones). Or even invest in your homestead to the point of self-sufficiency that you no longer care that the rest of the world is going to hell. <g/ng>
