I would have one more - for me - positive point, gold has a very low or even negative correlation with stocks, depending on the source, but still a positive return in the long term. So by adding gold you lower the volatility more than you lower the return. Also, that the prices have risen more in recent years is also related to mining costs, it tends to be more expensive to extract gold, as more and more regulated because of environmental concerns and the most accessible extraction areas of course also deplete over time. Great post, respect for enduring 😂 @ccf

@Divmann very good and important arguments! To reduce volatility or to shift gold into equities when gold prices are rising and share prices are falling, you can certainly get gold into your portfolio. I still have (hopefully) a few years ahead of me and have sufficient financial resources to be able to withstand volatility. Accordingly, the argument is not relevant for me, but can understand anyone who longs for a little more security 👍
