Acquire gold to hedge out of the problems that are likely to occur due to the valuation of unattached credit. The point isn't to sell gold at a profit, but to spend it if the worse thing happens and credit becomes completely valueless.

Macleod says to research mining companies to make sure their fundamentals are solid and they are managed well.
