This is a good start. I would like to see some more explanation of how the Trust works. People have been hearing about the correlation of gold to oil prices for 3-4 years now. However, it seems that recently oil prices have gone down due to fears of lower demand from the US, while gold prices continue to increase as a hedge or an alternative investment to a cheap dollar. Albeit, the correlation is not perfect in any event. As part of this write-up, I would also mention the history of gold as a store of value and the history of the price of gold after it ceased to back the US Dollar.

This is definitely different that the other review I have see on this site. First, it is great to see bull and bear arguments that are thought out and passionate. Not just a rehash of facts from the neutral page. Not that there is a lot on the neutral page. How about fleshing out the information on the neutral page? A little more background on the trust. Some history on gold prices or a link to gold discussion elsewhere on WikiInvest. What this product can do for an investor interested in gold prices. I do really like to picture of all that gold. I could use a couple of bricks!
