While Amazon.com Inc. might be on your list of the best stocks to buy this holiday shopping season, you'd be missing out on some excellent investments if that's your only pick.

Our Definitive Gold Price Prediction for 2019

At its core, gold is two things: wealth preservation and financial insurance.

So when the head of the world's biggest hedge fund recommends an allocation of 5% to 10% in gold, investors should listen.

Ray Dalio is founder and Chief Investment Officer at Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, with some $160 billion under management.

Dalio is great macro thinker who's highly respected. More than that, he gets rare results: His firm has averaged 13% annual returns since its founding in 1975.

Back in 2015, Dalio said, "If you don't own gold… there is no sensible reason other than you don't know history or you don't know the economics of it…"

There's no denying that gold has languished so far this year, but that's not a reason to sell.

After all, you don't cancel your homeowner's insurance just because your house hasn't burned down.

We're faced with two likely events in 2019: the next recession and the end of the bull market in equities.

Volatility is likely to pick up along the way, and that should help propel gold to significantly higher levels.

There are multiple reasons why gold's bull market is far from over, and why we're likely see a sizeable advance in 2019.

Let's look at each of these. Then I'll tell you where I think gold is headed in 2019...
