Is gold a valuable hedge against market volatility?

Gold is known to preserve value over a long period of time. It retains purchasing power which is an attractive asset class for inheritance.

Its prices tend to go high whenever there are uncertainties, and even popular investors such as Ray Dalio keeps some gold (etfs) in his portfolio as a hedge against volatility.

Gold is an amazing asset class that has very low risk and will never deprciate to zero value.

It is also a useful commodity for the industry as it is a popular element with many industrial applications.
It's like owning a real estate but with no rental income. Its growth can be boring but definitely appreciates as we inflate our currencies to sustain this economy.

Hi,

Personally, I don;t buy into gold but during market volatility stocks price are general depressed. Hence, it will provide you ample opportunities to invest in good company with good dividend yield.
