Fisher Investments Founder, Ken Fisher, Debunks “With Gold, You’re Golden”

Fisher Investments’ founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer, Ken Fisher, challenges the belief that gold is a good option for most investors. As he explains in his best-selling book, Debunkery, in the long-term, history shows how gold yields lower returns and experiences higher volatility (as measured by standard deviation) than a myriad other investment classes-including stocks and bonds. According to Ken, to be a successful gold investor, you must be an excellent market timer, which is incredibly hard to do.
Though some think of gold as an inflation hedge, Ken says they should remember that it’s very volatile. Ken explains that gold has historically demonstrated long periods of losing money, punctuated by short spurts of growth. If you cannot time those short growth periods, Ken says you’re likely to get disenchanted with gold as it slogs through long periods of underperformance.

So true, every time the adds come on the TV I think why would anyone buy Gold. Just maybe you can reach a few people and get them turned around.

Stocks have lower volatility with higher and consistent return than gold

This.. is a great book. Maybe we will get a Debunkery Continued book en futuro with some new debunks? or update with new stats to further reinforce the bunk. If not, that is okay. Sometimes i see KZbinrs list their best investment books and they always focus on stock picking vs top down or big picture asset allocation. Well, if your books are not in list, they lose me a little. This book is a must have as well as others you have written. Another plus beyond the content is that they are fun to read. And again, my parents always got on me for not reading enough. Hey parents, I read the hell out of Ken books. I am not into fiction. I am in to real information and useful information, sorry.

Thank you Ken

Good advice. I do not consider Gold an investment. I consider it REAL money.
