    "JSK, gold not a hedge? Because it's at a high? What about paper gold?...Swiss Francs??"

    Swiss francs is sliding today as appetite for risk is gaining and yes it has been treated as hedge. Gold and slv have been for a while as a speculative commodities for a while. Note the rise is INDU / SP500 and rise in commodities. If it was a hedge, it would be going in opposite direction. There is a tipping point where divergence happen. Lately, there is a divergence as more investors are getting confident about the market.

    If you want to have hedge and have ability to move your capital, I would suggest looking in to inverse derivatives or treasury ETFs to balance things out.
