Given the global money printing we might be on the verge of a global currency crisis and I'm not going to completely dismiss the idea.
However I also have in my little personal library and book called "You can profit from a monetary crisis" by a man named Harry Browne.
It was written in 1975 and helps give some context to a lot of the conversations happening now. Whenever I get the urge to go 'all in' on gold I read a few pages again and think of all the people who may have gone 'all in' in 1975 when they read this book.
Skol could prob give some stats on the relative performance of Gold and the Dow (incl. Divs) in that time but I suspect Gold would not look great.
