Gold: A Bad Investment and Getting Worse
Gold today is as risky as tech stock in 1999 and Miami condos in 2005, and the arguments supporting its Let’s take a look at some of these arguments and how they stand up to a brief reality check.

Myth #1: Gold is an investment

Let’s start with the very basics. I would define an investment as an asset that creates value and income over time.

Gold pays no dividends or interest and produces nothing. It’s an inert metal that you have to pay to store and insure. And yes, your ability to profit from it depends on your being able to sell it to someone else at a higher pric
