A 2022 magazine ad stated investing $150,000 in gold in 2000 would have over $1 million dollars in 2022. That information is correct. What ads for gold do not reveal, is that gold was at an historic low in 2000, that people who bought gold at its high in 2011 have lost money, and that the same $150,000 investment in stocks would have been worth millions more.
One certainty about investing in gold is that the sellers always make a profit.
