You think in short term, Gold thinks in long term.
Pull up Gold vs S&P since 1971 and you see Gold clearly outperforming the S&P.

“You think in short term, Gold thinks in long term.

Starting at 1971 puts in a one-time aberration. Start any year later and it looks entirely different.
Even so, your chart shows that the S&P 500 still outperformed gold.
For my entire investing life I was wise enough to choose stocks.
Good enough for me. Suckers who held gold are 400% poorer.
Sucks to be that guy.
