Doug S | If GOLD is the safety net in bad economic times why is it selling for only $740 per oz today? |

Gold is usually the saftey net for most downturns, however in our current global situation investors have strong concerns (real or imagined) over any asset that has a flucuating value. In the last few weeks you have had a large flight of capital into US treasury bills, considered the safest investment as it is backed by the US government. This of course has caused a dramatic appreciation of the US dollar relative to other currencies. |

Gold is the safety net for inflation, not a recession. |

bud68 has it correct, gold is a hedge against inflation, not recession. When the dollar is weak, and the prices of oil and commodities go up, then is the time to buy gold. Not during a recession. |

Strong dollar
Gold, like all metals, precious metals, grains, food, gas, oil - is a commodity. Commodities tend to run contra to the strength of the dollar.
We have warned against gold, and warned re its volatility many times on this site. It takes the stairs up, and the elevator down. |

Because the best way to profit from gold is not by buying gold, but by buying shares in gold mining companies. |
