The Shocking Performance of Gold

The Shocking Performance of Gold

Any serious investor, analyst, or commentator on precious metals has, to my mind, stressed that these are a) useful in small doses and b) a long run asset whose performance needs to be evaluated over a long run…So lets do that. There is quite enough hype about PM without hysterical “we’re doomed/Its only a flesh wound” from the opposing camps

Disclosure : I do not own gold bullion or in other form. I do have a phd student part funded by the LBMA.
