    food for thought if you bought gold back in 1981 you would still be down big on that investment.

    Gold has to be a smartly timed investment for sure.

    Not wise short term, either.

    Gold doesn't do anything. It is not a productive asset.

    A company generates revenue and distributes it to the owners or expands the business. Gold is inanimate.

    Gold is a gamble. It is not an investment.

    Hey, Yes I did think the same for a while, but after some technical analysis, I think it's worth it to try. In the end, it is the same for all the materials, but some people do invest a lot in it and earn a very good amount of money.
