As a hedge against overly ambitious diversified portfolios, Precious Metals and Gold can be a vital low-volatility alternative, especially as more countries are printing more money as economic stimulus plans (lets not make this a political post about whether this works or not).
Reasons for picking one of the following?
(1) Gold or a Gold ETF ($IAU) to your "Forever Portfolio" (2) all Precious Metals (I haven't extensively researched my choice for PM only fund) (3) PM AND Mining ($VGPMX)
I am personally leaning towards adding the Vanguard VGPMX fund and also burying gold bars in my back yard. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
