Retirement Savior,

If gold has a long term “0 real return,” what does the U.S. dollar have as a real return since 1971 when Nixon took us off the gold standard in terms of purchasing power?

Are you suggesting TIPS as the “better place” to get inflation return?

Do you believe that gold is a leading indicator of inflation?

Minority Fortune,

If gold’s ship has sailed, are you suggesting that people don’t diversify some into gold as a hedge against any further dollar decline from a long term perspective, or just talking short term?

It does make for a nice diversified portfolio, but one should never buy it up in hopes of big gains. But that's the market for you: hype, hype, and more hype!

And it has negative cost of carry to store it. While it works as a diversifier, there are better places to get inflation protection. Right now it is big as an investment because it is moving higher, and CNBC and the investing public are attracted to volatility in any form. In the long run, gold has a 0 real return.
