As an inflation hedge, as a key ingredient in a divirsified portfolio, heck as a a dang, pretty-damn-good standalone investment, few can argue gold doesn’t put forward a fairly decent case.

At Investor Trader we jump on and off the gold wagon with a gold spread bet quite a bit.

As it stands we’ve got the following gold spreads in play this very minute.
