I always laugh when I hear the ads on radio telling me what a great investment gold is.

Usually by a company who is in the business of selling gold.

If it's so great, why are they selling it instead of hoarding it?

Common misconception. They are not only selling it, they OWN it. LOTS of it. The greater the demand, the greater the value of THEIR gold.

It's just a commodity to miners. We sell enough to pay our bills and hoard the rest. We know the dangers of fiat currency and the spot price of gold is not the big deal to us as it is to investors. An ounce of gold would buy you a good suit in 1900. An ounce of gold will buy you a good suit today.
