No single asset class, including gold, is treated as sufficient on its own by mainstream financial planning literature or SEC investor education guidance. Modern portfolio theory, going back to Harry Markowitz’s Nobel-winning work, and decades of subsequent research consistently show that diversification across asset classes reduces risk for a given expected return compared to concentration in one asset.
Gold has a real, documented role as a portfolio diversifier due to historically low correlation with equities during some periods — but “the only asset” framing contradicts the basic principle of diversification that most fiduciary advisors and the SEC’s own investor materials recommend. Build your allocation based on your actual goals and risk tolerance, not a single-asset absolutist claim.
WRONG! Food is the most valuable asset. You can't eat gold! Productive Farmland is the most valuable asset you could own in a depression while most everyone is lined up in bread lines for miles, people will give you all their gold & silver for your food.
There is no guarantee that gold and silver will rise in price. The Fed will continue to raise interest rates in the near term which may cause gold and silver to decline.

Except we need to build community with our clueless neighbors. Eventually or maybe this is wishful thinking they'll clue into reality. Or maybe not.
