Is Gold A Good Investment?

Gold is one of the largest financial assets in the world with an average daily trading volume of $183 billion, and its value has seen explosive growth in recent years.
At the start of 2000, gold was priced at just $460 per ounce when adjusted for inflation. By August 2021, that number had ballooned to roughly $1,815 per ounce.
But not all investors are in love with gold. Warren Buffett has spoken out numerous times on his doubts, calling it an asset with “no utility.”
“It doesn’t produce anything and that’s why from a long-term perspective, it’s a hard asset to invest in,” Odyssey Capital Advisors chief investment officer Jason Snipe said. “It’s prudent portfolio management to have maybe a small allocation there but this is not an asset that you want to be heavily entrenched into if you’re looking for long-term yield.”
Since 2011, the S&P 500 has returned more than 16% on an annualized basis. The annualized return for the 10-year Treasury note sat at just over 2% in that time period. Gold, meanwhile, has fallen slightly over the past 10 years.
“Early on, you see strong performance, strong return or yield from commodities such as gold. Generally, as we move into a different cycle, gold is not as great a performer as we move into a normalized environment,” Snipe said.
Whether gold is an effective hedge against market volatility is also widely debated among experts.
“Gold is not necessarily a perfect hedge against inflation but it can be a strategic hedge against inflation,” according to Suki Cooper, executive director of precious metals research at Standard Chartered Bank.
“Various studies have shown us that if gold is held for 12 to 18 months before inflation takes higher and then it’s held for an additional 12 to 18 months while inflation moves higher, it can be a good inflation hedge,” Cooper said. “But if it’s just bought for a short period, let’s say a month, it may not prove to be an effective inflation hedge.”

Is Gold A Good Investment?

[@JimRex-sf8bt]

Hey folks, have you heard about Desiree Ruth Hoffman?

[@JimRex-sf8bt]

She's been getting a lot of buzz lately for her portfolio management skills.

[@ParkerRoyce-ni5pw]

Yeah, I've come across her name a few times. Isn't she known for her expertise in trading gold?

[@pengily_emi]

That's right. Desiree's insights into the gold market, both in forex and stocks, have been pretty impressive.

[@SantosCliff]

I've actually been considering diversifying into gold. Maybe I should look into her services.

[@Stephenrogzyyy]

Absolutely! I've been working with Desiree for a while now, and I can't recommend her enough.

[@ShirlPigram]

The dollar is literally being destroyed / debased / devalued. The best performing asset in the history of the world is BITCOIN. It is by far the best store of value. 10 years from now you’ll be thankful for every dollar you put into it.. My two cents.

[@mulattodavid]

Regretting missing out on earlier Bitcoin investments, I kept funds in a HYSA. Now, with $200k to invest, I aim to avoid FOMO and buying at the peak. What's the best approach for a newbie to navigate the market?

[@HettieClausenTl]

I do agree, Investing has gotten difficult especially after pandemic, hence why I decided to use the expertise of an advisor, my spouse kicked against the idea initially, but oh well guess who's best buddies with our advisor now hehehe.

[@shaniarain650]

Hello, I'm curious to give this a try. Please who is your advisor and how do I get in touch?

[@HettieClausenTl]

The popular lady Melissa Jean Talingdan comes to mind. You'd find her basic info. on the web to set up appointment as she offers free consultations.

Thank you for sharing, I must say, Melissa appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive. I reached out and scheduled a call.

BRICS seeks to create a new currency, considering gold's historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange. However, the functionality and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system are uncertain. Creating a new currency requires careful consideration of economic, political, and logistical factors.

[@ScottBruceman]

The discussions and proposals surrounding BRICS nations' potential use of gold are intriguing. People choose to buy gold for various reasons, such as its historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange, its potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and its relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Gold also offers diversification benefits to investment portfolios due to its low correlation with stocks and bonds.

I agree with you. I started out with investing on my own, but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2020 crash I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000

[@Redwood4040]

Glad to hear from another buckeye! comfortable retirement depends on your lifestyle.

[@SaintYvess]

I would get money management just in case. You’re only 55. I think the average life execting in the US is 77.5 years, but many people live well into their 80s so that $1 million has to last you all of that and the unforeseen. $1m is a great start though. Good for you!

It's been 6 years now and we've grown our portfolio to $1m.

[@JefferyDuns]

I never viewed metals as an investment, but I always saw it as a great way to save your cash & retain the value from when you bought it. It’s not hard to turn it to liquid cash, and it beats letting inflation destroy your savings.

[@Nernst96]

You are in for a nasty surprise, my friend. Gold is often hailed as a hedge against inflation-increasing in value as the purchasing power of the dollar declines. However, government bonds are more secure and have shown to pay higher rates when inflation rises, and Treasury TIPS provide built-in inflation protection.

[@PatrickLloyd-]

I think having an investment advisor is the way to go. I've been with one because I lack the expertise for the market. I made over $490K during the recent dip, highlighting that there's more to the market than we average folks know.

At the beginning of the year, I have continued to purchase a few equities, but nothing significant. Why am I being so unkind to this? The fact that others in my field make six figures each piece, nevertheless, motivates me to want to be the first member of my polygamous family to earn a million dollars. I am fully aware of the expense of working more to get more money.

[@HildaBennet]

If the market has taught me anything, it's that it typically makes a comeback, but I can't seem to focus on the long term, particularly because crucial factors like my retirement and my reserve are having a devastating influence on inflation. As soon as is practical, I need a solution and a data trajectory that I can trust.

[@beafoster747]

On the contrary, even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I am a project manager and my personal port-folio of approximately $750k took a big hit in April due to the crash.

Dividends are what got me into investing in the stock market. The thing to me is, if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. Have over $600K in my portfolio as I bought a lot of dividend stocks before, I'm buying more now, and I will buy more when it drops further

[@alexyoung3126]

As a new investor it's always great to hear from a person who has gone through all the difficult times and come ahead of it. It's unnerving to see your portfolio go from green to red but as mentioned if you have invested in quality names just have to keep adding to them and stay the course

I will continue to constantly accumulate gold as long as I can, throughout history it has been something of great financial importance even in times of downward economic spiral.

I just acquired more gold and silver a few minutes ago. Tying up money because of an impending stock market meltdown is also a bad idea. Life is a risk, and it's better to take risks than to do nothing; you can't constantly expect to make enormous profits all of the time; and individuals have so many different perspectives on a recession.

Take away points 1) Gold will never be zero, never be completely replaced by anything and it has it's place in financial role. Why would central bank hold them if they are not? 2) Whether Gold out perform other assets or not depend on the period that you choose. 3) Gold is a long term inflationary hedge and not short term inflationary hedge. Gold tend to front run inflation (recently value spike in 2020 before inflation kick in 2021). 4) Gold is an hard asset and can hedge against deflation especially when we have financial system based on fiat currency. It is because, during deflationary, for short term gold price go down due to liquidity issue but because almost always central banks pump the system back up and Gold will rise up.

Gold doesn’t pay a dividend because gold IS already money. As a currency, XAU/USD was $250 in the year 2000 and today in the year 2021, XAU/USD is $1800. If you got paid in XAU instead of USD or converted your savings straight away into XAU, you would not be complaining about rent moratoriums or the housing costs because it would buy you precisely the same house that it could have bought you in 2000.

That's a fortunate time period you have there. If you bought in 1980 and held until 2000 you would have lost 75% of your money. I think crypto currency has stolen a lot of gold's appeal, although it's an even more stupid investment. The new book "Debt, The First 5000 Years" says that we are at a 5000-year-low in interest rates. If that's the case, then gold has very little appreciation potential, because dividend-paying securities will rise in value.

I have a gold and silver KZbin channel, so I may be a little bit biased here. However, I wanted to provide my view on gold, as it may differ from traditional thinking. I actually view it as a "savings account," and not as an investment vehicle for retirement. Why? Well, savings accounts accomplish 2 things: 1) achieving a required rate of return 2) doing so with minimal volatility. One of the reasons why gold underperforms the s&p 500 is because it has less volatility (ie no risk, no reward). One of the reasons why it over performs most savings accounts (even high yield savings accounts) is because of the same reason. Risk premia are involved in the level of volatility within particular assets/asset classes. Savings accounts generally don't have as much of a liquidity premium as gold does. And gold doesn't have a default premium that stocks have. The more risk premia, the higher your required rate of return.

[@good2goskee]

All depends when you start comparing the S&P vs gold. There are times gold wins the race and at some points loses. Consider this, the S&P has never had a price fix on it for 38 years, gold unfairly did. Companies on the S&P have sometimes been delisted, gone bankrupt, or became redundant-not gold. It is actually unfair to compare gold to a market with the performance of 500 different companies. It is a better comparison to compare the S&P performance VS. gold the commodity, Gold mints, and jewelry stores selling gold ect.....
