We have been in consolidation for over a year and now may be on the verge of another crash in stocks in terms of real money. This move can be manifested by either a surge in gold, lower stocks, or a combination of both.

They allow investors to quickly and painlessly diversify into gold without the transaction costs and storage expenses associated with holding physical bullion or coins.
Overall, the assets of gold ETFs increased 84% in 2009 as investors sought protection from a falling U.S. dollar and economic uncertainty.
