“The truth is, gold’s price adjusted for inflation is still 48% below its 1980 high at $875.Today, that price would equal $2,900. In the grand scheme, it still looks cheap.

That does not make the reality, though, any less real. That is why portfolio balance is so important – as Krauth explains briefly and effectively at the link above.
