Okay if a real shocker hits the markets, say, on Monday and the sh*t really hits the fan provoking a big & fast flight to quality, if the client is still adamant about these two, where would he/she put her money? Time horizon here is probably short term, and I am thinking Gold over Treasuries - I'm not up on how many different ways there are to get exposure to Treasuries without actually buying them, plus I think Gold might be more responsive here.
