A good way to be in gold, CEF has returned 40% for me since I got into it in July of 2010.

Long-term gold price suppression will reverse itself, driving the gold price up like a rocket.

For a reason of paranoia it's better to hold gold and silver outside of US

I have stayed away from Gold and Silver for the longest time because I didn't understand what investing in it meant. However, now I am convinced the global banking system and most advanced economies are essentially screwed. So I am investing in GLD/SLV because the ensuing fear will drive their prices up.
The only competition to this was higher interest rates from Fed but at least until 2013 (and more than a decade if you ask me) we won't be seeing major interest rate hikes so basically this is the safest investment I can find at this time. This and shorting bloated stocks :)

Long term I think gold and silver will underperform the S&P. Especially from this point.

Weekly revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa, with concomitant oil price shocks, continued turmoil in the bond markets related to multiple Sovereign Debt crises - all point to continued rise in gold and silver holdings.

With the dollar teetering on the edge, and with the questionable security of other gold investments, CEF has the best chance of being the financial life preserver.

Invests in physical gold and silver. Hedge against inflation, currency confidence crisis, and short squeeze on paper short positions.

Gold is in a long bull market. CEF keeps your gold in Canada, which is safer than having your gold in the U.S. because U.S. government might confiscate gold holdings when things get ugly.

Why not hold "PHYSICAL SILVER"? This fund appears to be a safe place to do exactly that. They hold allocated bars in a trusted vault, unlike many of the "silver ETFs" that are leveraged up to 100x. Pull back the covers on some of those ETFs and what you find (or in some cases, WILL NOT FIND) is enough silver to satisfy the shareholders in the unlikely event they would ever make a run on the fund. Call me paranoid if you want, but I'm from the "show me" state and in this volatile market, we all should be saying "show me what I'm buying". I prefer knowing there are hard assets that provide shareholders with peace of mind knowing their money is not being used to leverage a position on paper alone. Isn't that what got us in this mess we're in?
Anyway, silver is not only a hedge against the global sovereign debt bubble that has started to burst (and has potential to impact many currencies, including the Euro and USD), but silver is very widely used in industrial and manufacturing applications (which plays well with emerging markets that have real potential to grow GDP becuase they are not highly leveraged and burdened with debt).
I'm looking to hold CEF long in real life.

The fund holds "allocated, segregated and unencumbered gold and silver bullion and does not speculate in gold and silver prices".

Gold is ready for its next pop up. It has performed well in a rising dollar and it should do well as it declines.
