I'm convinced that gold is a great investment. Why would anyone think otherwise?

Beat out the SP 500 in 2024 and so far in 2025. Far less volatile than stocks. Gold is real money and is considered hard money. We are in uncertain times. The European conflict could expand and if China tries to retake Taiwan the price could reach new heights. In times of trouble Gold will be more beneficial to hold as an asset. It's been ingrained into our evolutionary biology, and it's healthy to even consume it like gold flakes. I wouldn't personally, but like early morning sunlight and coffee 90 minutes after waking it makes us happy and is an optimal financial protocol.
