Gold is a store of value. Comparing it to stock market returns is comparing apples and oranges. Gold is immutable, its doesn’t change, it just is. Stocks, in contrast represent human inputs to create profits and value. Under proper management a company can grow exponentially. Under the wrong management a company can become worthless and go out of business.
Gold is a store of value because it is a rare metal with useful properties and beauty and because it can’t go out of business or be created in endless quantities. Gold doesn’t change, doesn’t borrow money or declare dividends. Gold doesn’t defend against law suits, innovate, hire workers or go bankrupt. These are the traits that allow gold to preserve its value.
