Why would you want to buy gold?
For investment bankers and wealth managers, they would say gold is a hedge against bad economic conditions.

But having seen how the world behaved this year, I have doubts about the real value of gold.

Gold only shines when the world is crumbling down and... Imagine the ultimate worse economic crisis ever, when people also doubt the value of USD.

But gold serves not much other purpose.... Its nice during wars and depressions, but I do not see hoarding gold can beat inflation....
