Five reasons why you should own gold…
Recent independent studies have shown that traditional diversifiers (such as bonds and alternative assets) often fail during times of market stress 
or instability. Even a small allocation of gold has been proven to significantly improve the consistency of portfolio performance during both stable and unstable financial periods.
Adding gold to your portfolio introduces an entirely different class of asset. Gold is unique because it is both a commodity and a monetary asset. Take a look at the graph below, you can see what the price of gold has done over the last nine years.

Gold is renowned as a hedge against inflation
Gold is renowned as a hedge against inflation. The most consistent factor determining the price of gold has been inflation – as inflation goes up, the price of gold goes up with it. Since the end of the World War II, the five years in which U.S. inflation was at its highest were 1946, 1974, 1975, 1979, and 1980. During those five years, the average real return on stocks, as measured by the Dow, was – 12.33%; the average real return on gold was 130.4%
Today, a number of factors are conspiring to create the perfect inflationary storm:
-
Extremely simulative monetary policy
-
A major tax cut
-
A long term decline in the dollar
-
A spike in oil prices
-
A mammoth trade deficit, and
-
America’s status as the world’s biggest debtor nation.
