PS: I don't have the data on me, but I ran a historical analysis of U.S. recessions and the price of gold. They were actually relatively poorly correlated, but I did find some research showing that gold responds to systemic shocks. IE. Gold is a poor inflation hedge but has been a decently good "crisis" hedge.
Before you signed onto this forum, I posted this before with regards to gold. Gold doesn't have much correalation other than that towards fear. Maybe it might be related to volumes? I don't know.

Dow hit 14,000 again. Not a surprise that the bulls (and their shit, excuse my sarcasm) are back. I certainly hope it will not be another Black Tuesday, though it would be great if the reinstated the Glass-Steagall Act.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.
