Gold is subject to the same abuse by the Central Banks as the pulp fiat currencies they usually dole out.
Whiskey and cigarettes are the best investments during hard times.

Cash is king at the moment. Commodities are also a bit high. The share bear market should be over by Summer, i.e. once the complete extent of losses are known from the banks. Then selectively invest in shares.

Also, I see that buying gold sovereigns is exempt from any CGT as they are still legal tender. Better than buying into an ETF when it comes to selling up?
Your insightful, relevant and reasoned comments please.

How do you get in? You can hold physical gold (just pop down to Hatton Garden and buy some) although I’m told that a lot of dealers are running out of the kind of little ingots and coins small investors like to buy. Otherwise there are London-listed gold exchange-traded funds or there is the Merrill Lynch Gold and General Fund which I have held for years and am resting all my dreams of a happy retirement on.
