Gold investment myth versus the real world returns
The piece argues that gold's reputation as an investment winner rests on a 1979 1980 surge and that long term gains since 1974 were modest versus stocks. It notes mispricing from a $35 baseline and cites a 2000s price around $400, warning about short term bubbles and the potential for future rises with inflation, lower rates, or crises.
