Yes, I like gold, but don't like the gold ETFs, because they are 100x oversubscribed and manipulated. The Fed also gets into the game of hide and seek and distorts the gold markets. I also don't like holding the physical, because I don't trust the people/banks who'd hold it for me. I don't want to hold it myself, in my house, because then I'd make my family a target for villains. So gold is speculation like any other, not because it shouldn't be a safe haven, but because there is no free market in gold due to Fed corruption. So you are right in theory, but I don't trust the reality. We lived in very f-ed up times. I wish we could go back to the semi-free markets we used to have in my youth. Good luck to us all!
