“Gold will do well though, just as it did in 1979.”
***This isn't 1979. Nothing like it. ***

Gold went up because of the Iranian hostage crisis. When Reagan came in gold took a dive.

My understanding was that gold went up because there was speculation that Reagan was going to restore the Dollar to using lawful money (gold and silver) instead of the un-Constitutional Federal Reserve Notes that we have now.

Gold was a refuge from inflation, which was running at 13%.

When Reagan came in gold took a dive.

Yes, but not because of the hostage crisis. Investors expected an end to inflation because of Reagan's expected fiscal policies.
