“3) Own portfolio insurance offering the uncorrelated potential for strong absolute returns (in our world, this means owning some of the best systematic trend-following funds). 4) Own real assets offering some degree of inflation protection or at least damage limitation. On this last point, two further questions naturally arise. 1) Got gold? 2) If you do ‘got gold’, do you really have enough ?”
USAGOLD note 1: This well-considered analysis is something of an anomaly in the current environment when so many think deflation is the wolf at the door – not inflation. Price quotes fund manager Harris Kupperman: “No one is ready for inflation, but I believe it’s coming. Maybe not today or next week, but there is a powder keg of monetary supply just waiting to be unleashed by governments who think that inflation can never happen again. At first, markets will cheer a bit of inflation—then they’ll panic. The markets often do whatever the fewest people are positioned for. Who’s positioned for inflation?”
USAGOLD note 2: One of the rock-solid tenets of gold ownership is that it cares not which villain appears on the financial stage, i.e., inflation, deflation, stagflation, disinflation, hyperinflation. It protects against any and all and cares not in which order they appear.

“In modern times, since the 1970s, the average level of the relationship between the two precious metals has been around fifty-five ounces of silver value in each ounce of gold value. When the ratio between the metals is below the 55:1 level, silver is historically expensive compared to gold. At levels above 55:1, silver becomes historically cheap. . .Silver could be a sleeping bull at the $18 per ounce level.
USAGOLD note: Quite a few among our regular clientele who normally concentrate capital in gold have taken the step to fill in their ‘silver gap’ at the current price ratio. Within that group, a good many opt to store the metal at a depository facility by which you can buy or sell with a phone call and it is fully insured. Cost-wise, it is competitive with an ETF and offers the additional advantage of a delivery option in case you would rather have your silver nearby at some point in the future.
