The whole gold vs stocks thing is kind of lame. Under any circumstance, it’s insane not to have both in a well-rounded portfolio.

Gold is super-hot right now because we have monetary hyperinflation being masked by economic deflation; If we do a Greenspan-Reagan maneuver to pull out of this death spiral, you’ll see a spike in unemployment and interest rates... but then somehow, but a crash in gold. But then your stocks will start taking off, and if you rebalance your portfolio frequently, you’ll have taken your profits from gold already.

You're just a fount of knowledge today aren't you? To paraphrase PTJ "gold is just an asset like any other, it's got it's time and place. that time is now"

Gold has crushed stocks +10 years running now, so NO it's NOT appropriate to have gold and stocks, unless you want to underperform.

I will sell gold for stocks and RE when the valuations have adjusted to all the money printing and guys like you are buying gold at $5K/oz.
