Someone asking a fund

Hello.
I know someone that reads less than I do (and constantly work so wont read) and this person wants to secure his economies by puting a part in gold, but just puting it there and not bothering. So I searched a bit and... found a Canadian fund: http://ca.us.biz.yahoo.com/p/r/rmf*pre.to.html

I wanted to know if anyone had some comments. Yet, I read everything here, at goldseek.com, fool.com, silverinvestor.com, etc etc but I still may miss something and since it's someone's retirement money (10% of portfolio or the like), I prefer to get comments...

Thanks in advance

Hello GreenFrog,

I like Prudent Bear to play short SM's and long gold combined.
Top outfit in Wisconsin, well away from the street, and independent.
Flat year as SM's have been going up, their gold has held them up.

All gold, Tocqueville Gold Fund is a solid performer.

That gives you a couple of alternate options.
