Gold Is Not A Currency, Just A Commodity Like Any Other

There is no simple answer in the investment world. It's a combination of everything and that's the case with gold and everything else. Gold has been around for thousands of years, gold has had many periods when it's been in a bull market and many periods when it's been in a bear market. It's just another investment. I know that many people think it is a currency but gold is just another investment like everything else, just another commodity like everything else. Go back in history and you will see that gold is just another investment like everything else whether we like it or not. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX))
