<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1360139, member: 3011&quot;]Except for the fact that over the past 30 years, gold has underperformed inflation.&nbsp; I know that perhaps this will even out if you can wait, say, 100 years, but that is a very negative approach to advise a 20 year old with perhaps 70 years of equity investing ahead.&nbsp; At 20, a person should be shooting for the stars, not huddling in the bunker trying to avoid going to zero or hoping to break even with inflation.&nbsp; So gold has a place in a portfolio, perhaps as a replacement for one stock, but it is probably not appropriate for the OP to spend a significant part of the portfolio on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
