Historically they go down with the equities markets. Look at the 87 crash, the 98 crash, the 1929 crash. At no time did they offer succor to investors.

Also, precious metals are aligned not only with industrial production but also with wealth acquisition. Since crashes effect both (atleast on a psychological level) their consumption also suffers.

I figured they would be a good hedge. Thanks, Matt Hello,
