This way you can decide for yourself if gold should be a part of your inflation-hedging portfolio.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share the link with any gold critics or skeptics among your family and friends, since putting hard numbers to it may finally sway them to take out an insurance policy of gold (or silver), whether physical bullion, ETFs, or mining stocks, to hedge their own assessment of inflation risks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
