If you believe that the past is the best indicator of the future, then the best course would be to keep your money where it is. If you think this time is going to be much different, then you'd want to put your money somewhere else (although I'd choose real estate over gold myself). Ultimately the future is uncertain, and we don't know. Either one group is overreacting or another group is underreacting.
