It was only when not if the important metals separated from oil, as I have said nothing wrong having a little gold or silver tucked away, the salient words IMO are a little, I don't like too much in it to be honest, just a Vix proxy is gold, that's not a bad thing to look at too hH, super liquid, nice and spikey for the trader. I will sit with copper for the 30 odd months left in my timeline, buying from time to time.
