Gold, at this point, will never be used as a standard again for the U.S. for many different reasons. But to say one shouldn't have a little bit for insurence purposes isn't sound advice. If we go into a depressionary cycle, wouldn't you want something to fall back onto?

Investments should be diverse but I see little value in holding gold. Those buying it in 1980 for investment would have seen 2/3s of their saving disappear.
