One of the best looks at this entire thing.
Gold is a stupid investment though — literally one of the worst performing asset classes over long periods of time. Doesn’t do anything at all, and is a dumb hedge. If you want a hedge against a global meltdown where stocks go to zero or the zombies invade, then you should go by a gun and bullets.
Don’t mind me hating heavily on gold though, I just don’t like the whole — buy gold because we’re going to go back to the gold standard or some bullshit like that.
Totally can’t expect the leader of stock market investing over this time period to jump into this asset class though.
