gold bug

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
gold bug
An individual who thinks that investors should keep all or part of their assets in the form of gold. The tendency to recommend gold nearly always stems from the gold bug's expectation of rapid or uncontrolled growth of the money supply accompanied by high rates of inflation. Some gold bugs also predict economic collapse with gold becoming the standard of payment.
