do not be anchored to GOLD thinking it is a headge against inflation.
Gold is not only phisical bars, a long time ago, it became speculations and only eletronic numbers, that you can trade.
As something goes to the stock market it is not a headge against inflation and it becomes influenced by speculation and the power of the governments.
Since dollar is becoming valuable, and governments are not interested in gold anymore, it is better to crash dollar, and if a payment comes through gold,
it will be less valuable, and that is what governments are doing, crashing it.
