Q: Considering purchasing CGL as a disaster hedge, portfolio diversifier and future inflation hedge. I like the way it increased in value back in 2009 to 2011; more so than XGD. I also like the idea of avoiding the specific company risk of purchasing a gold company. If you like my thesis, what percentage of my equity portfolio would you suggest to provide the protection I am seeking? Thank you.
