That, I believe, is what's called over-kill. God help them should an artificial way of making gold be discovered.

Housing is no issue. I have a final salary public sector (hiss!) pension scheme. My assets (as they are) mainly in sterling but also some shares and a little bit of silver. How do you hedge future earning?

As a % of your total worth, how much should be gold?

Aye, Baird.

But if gold dropped to £250/oz then I could only buy 2 month's shopping compared with 6 months at the moment.

So is now a good time to buy gold? I mean this month rather than, say, in 6 months. Can get Britannias for £805. That a good price?
