Myth 3: Gold Doesn't Make You Money

This section addresses the misconception that gold is not a profitable investment. While acknowledging that gold does not function like stocks by paying dividends, the core argument is that gold absolutely grows in value over time.

Historical Appreciation of Gold

• General Trend: History demonstrates that gold has appreciated in value over decades.
• Performance during Economic Downturns: Gold's value has shown particular strength and appreciation during periods of economic instability and downturns.

Personal Case Study: Gold Value Over Time

The speaker provides a personal example to illustrate gold's appreciation:

• Methodology: The speaker tracked the value of their gold holdings on the same date each year for five consecutive years.
• Timeline: The tracking started around April 20th, 2019, and continued annually until April 20th, 2024 (implied by "every day one year forward" and the mention of "last 5 years alone").
• Findings: Over this five-year period, the gold appreciated by approximately two to two and a half times its original value from when the speaker began accumulating gold (stacking) around 2017-2018.

Supporting Evidence

The primary evidence presented is the historical trend of gold's value and the speaker's personal, quantifiable experience with their own gold holdings.

Conclusion

The main takeaway is that the myth that gold doesn't make money is false. Gold, despite not offering dividends like stocks, demonstrably grows in value over time, as evidenced by historical performance and specific, personal investment tracking that shows significant appreciation.
