Cow_tipping, my advice for a gold fund is UNWPX. It’s diversified into silver, gold, and some other industrial metals. It also pays dividends. It’s got a great track record over the past several years. However, there is one caution flag I have to point out. If the stock market in general crashes, this will probably fall as well, even if gold and silver do better than the overall market. In a dangerous equities environment such as we have today, I wouldn’t invest in this fund just yet. If you want to own precious metals, then trade the ETFs GLD and SLV. They should move in step with the metals, not the general market. When the dust settles with the market, then jump into UNWPX. At that point it will net you more than the ETFs.
