It is, absolutely, but this hedge and that gained through all commodities is already built into the very nature of a properly diversified index fund thanks to the companies with a vested interest in those commodities.
Please explain:
How is it a hedge? Do people not exchange money for gold to make more money? (A hedge against what? money failing?)
What is an index fund exactly?
What is the very nature of properly diversified index funds?
What is an improperly diversified index fund?
And what do you mean by commodities exactly?
What is money?
What is an exchange rate?
Why is USD worth less than anything?
Where is money made?
Who is Peter Schiff?
Why am I such a n00b?
Honestly, one sentence about proper finance can just about make my head explode.
