Gold Weighting?

[clowboy]

Just interested to know what % of people's portfolio is invested in GOLD.
Every Doom and Gloom article I have read says buy gold in case of economic colapse. From the research I have done though gold did not do anything spectacular during any "bad times"

Re: Gold Weighting

Do you mean gold as a physical holding or gold as including gold mining shares, ETF's, certificates for gold like the Perth Mint ones?

10% spread between these is a good start.

Talking Physical for the most part, but certificates etc are the same in some ways, gold stocks not really what I meant.
