| Dear Reader, Warren Buffett has called it an asset with no utility. Famed economist John Maynard Keynes called it “a barbarous relic.” And yet, investors as well as ordinary people all over the world keep putting their money into the precious metal. For good reason: Gold has held its value in many crises—from economic downturns and stock market collapses to world and civil wars. Throughout history, millions of refugees from war-torn countries fleeing threats of persecution managed to bring some gold coins with them, often sewn into the hems of their clothes. This gold, exchanged for the currency of their host country, gave them a new start in life. On the other hand, those who escaped with a suitcase full of their home country’s currency—hoping to exchange it—were left with nothing. There is simply no other asset that can match the “safety net” gold provides. But it doesn’t even take a major crisis for smart investors to consider a precious metals allocation.
