Uhh how did that hedge work out for gold bugs through the eighties and nineties when the dollar was strong?

Why in the name of Christ would anyone want to sell on a strong dollar or late 80's or 90's type economy? Just like stocks a profit or loss is not realized until a sell is made.

I would not recommend silver for a person who would have be liquidating his position do to need. For a buy and hold position to be sold at the right time metals excel. For the same reason I typed above silver can be an important part of a portfolio and is the reason almost every sovereign wealth fund and central bank on the planet holds some. Most reputable advisers will advise a small percentage for the same reason.
