Gold = failsafe when our currency tanks (which it is doing). It's the most recognizable currency worldwide.

I knew a guy from Vietnam whose family came over on a refugee boat. His dad was a doctor, and paid for everything in gold, including their house in Rosemead, CA. In fact, the dad arrived and promptly retired. Gold allowed that.
