A piece by Juan Carlos Artigas of the World Gold Council has been webbed by Forbes; it shows gold having a low correlation with other asset classes, particularly the S&P 500 and T-bills. Interestingly, one of his finding is that the positive correlation of T-bonds to gold is higher than that for the S&P.
The point behind it is to show that gold is a worthwhile diversifier for more normal portfolios. Artigas also includes a brief sketch of the supply-demand configuration for the metal.
