Gold Redux: What do you folks thing about this?

[peterb]

Treat having physical gold like an insurance policy and you’ll be in good shape. It’s got a very good long term record and held up well in this current credit implosion. But if uncertainty in the global markets kicks up again, gold could really go off. Apmex has been reliable for me.

Uh, not exactly.

We had this same “gold as a store of value/measure of value” argument on another thread. Scaredycat opined that gold has performed well for 1,500 years, but unfortunately history doesn’t bear that out.

I won’t agree the superiority of fiat money over gold (or other precious metals) because that’s a non-starter as well. However, the argument that gold is historically a strong performer is completely unsupported by facts.
