Diversifying and bringing some stability to an equity-heavy PF by adding gold through ETFs or even physical gold, and participating in futures to make some profit are different.
With ETFs, there will be a chance of recovery if we wait, but it can be a long wait. With futures, there will be absolute loss at the end of expiry, and if we add more to recoup our losses for the next expiry, we can lose more if our view is wrong. And the toughest part is the fall that can happen in the middle of the duration, so more funds will be required. Nothing will teach FnO better than participation, so if you are inclined, you can do it with Mini or Guinea and experience, if you have not already. My experience did not feel worth the effort, so I invest and trade in ETFs.
