Gold Correlation to Stocks/Other Commodities

[FarmerD]

Found this fascinating article on Dollarcollapse.com.  It's a discussion of, among other things, how gold is correlated with stocks and other commodities.  From the graphs presented it appears gold's correlation to oil or copper is reasonably consistent.  If true, then why would someone hold a basket of commodites futures instead of just physically owning the one commodity that has a high correlation to the basket?
