The latest podcast was on gold in the Permanent Portfolio and thought I’d break out some more specifics about what was covered:

- Owning physical gold and what kind to buy.

- Reasons for holding gold outside the country (with future discussions on how to do it easily and safely).

- Gold funds you can consider owning if convenience is more important than safety.

- Why you probably aren’t going to be able to get your gold from a gold fund even if they tell you that it’s possible.

- Why you shouldn’t own Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) for your gold allocation in the portfolio.

- Why you shouldn’t own collateralized commodity futures instead of gold.

- Why the government doesn’t care about hurting people with inflation and how they are likely to behave when inflation is bad.

- How gold can work in concert with stocks and bonds to produce superior after-inflation returns over time.

These are a lot of topics I touch upon and they will be covered more in the future. If you want other topics covered please leave a comment or e-mail and I’ll try to cover them in an upcoming episode.

Thanks!
