Q: Do I really need gold (XGD)?

I know 5i regards gold as an insurance/flight-to-safety hedge, but over ~ 10 years of investing, gold (XGD) has only lost me money. So, based on:

(a) http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/19/retirement/retirement-savings-gold/index.html and
(b) May 08, 2017 - Asked by Harry 'you can use TIPS securities under ticker TIP',

I'm considering replacing all my XGD (2.2% of portfolio; keeping RTM and ZCL in Basic Materials sector) with TIP ETF (10-year returns: TIP: +13.2%, XGD: -30%).

Would very much value you thoughts on this. Thank you.

Q: I hold G at a loss at $24/share. Do I average down with G at $16, or just ride it out? I believe gold will do well in the next few months.

Q: Hi team,
I am aware that you are positive about this company,s outlook and management ability ,but over the last two weeks,even as the price of gold has gone up 50$ BTO,s stock price has been week.WIth it,s Fekola mine in Mali to start producing on Oct.1 and the overall gold production doubling to 950,000 ounces in fiscal 2018,would now be an opportunity to accumulate shares or is the jump in production already factored in the share price?
Many thanks,
Jean
