I hope I am not the only one who got your reference about brass. I have been collecting "processed" brass for quite a while. I am also investing in its method of conveyance.

I think you both bring up a great point: don't put all your eggs in one basket. Personally I wouldn't buy tangible gold (not securities) as a hedge against a failed state, but, rather, as a hedge against inflation. It never hurts to invest in appreciable commodities, but art, property, etc. have those same benefits. I good asset mix is key.
FWIW, the 1980-2007 0% growth is arbitrary. How about 1970-1980 with 845% ROI? The historical chart shows gold generally depreciates during a recession and experiences a precipitous growth in value during recovery, only to come back down (which is where we are right now). Using my eyeballs, unless we're IN a recession, decide to stock up on gold, and then SELL on the subsequent post-recession run-up securing capital gains (0% tax, no?), then holding for the apocalypse is not a good bet. But buying when it's low and selling when it's high is a no brainer. If it hits $700, I'd buy some for sure but I wouldn't empty my nest egg to do it.
Just my $.02.
