This is part one of three in a series exploring three key reasons why gold could be the best hedge in the event of a major market correction.
There are many stories in the news lately exploring the various ways to protect yourself from a major market correction. They talk about hedge funds shorting US municipal debt, junk bonds, and foreign bonds in Asia and the eurozone. However, hardly anyone in the media mentions the use of physical gold bullion to protect your savings from a stock market crash.  We believe gold will outperform any of these conventional “safe havens” for three key reasons.
The first promising factor for gold is that it is heavily out of favor. That is to say, the financial media loathes the yellow metal. Bullish sentiment on gold is currently at its lowest level since 2004. Due to the 30% decline of gold in 2013, those who have long hated it have been doing a victory lap. This is despite the fact that gold rose nearly 600% from 2001 to 2012.

Jim Rickards, author of The Death of Money, was interviewed on RT. Jim checks off a daunting list of countries around the world experiencing economic difficulties and offers analysis of what is really going on.
What's happening in Germany is happening all over the world. Germany's economy contracted... Italy's already contracted. France has two quarters in a row of zero GDP. The United States in the first half [of 2014]... did not even grow 1%... China is slowing down, and of course, Japan fell off a cliff. If you look around the world, it looks like we're going into a global recession, except I would say this is a continuation of a global depression that began in 2007... This is not a normal recovery, not a normal business cycle..."
