“Gold is money that maintains its purchasing power, and for this reason it should be viewed as insurance against financial calamity and a hedge in case of economic collapse.”

Mickey Fulp personally, holds a minimum of 10 per cent of his net assets in physical gold in his physical possession at any given time. For him, gold is neither an investment nor a speculation.
