"Why don't you take a multi million dollar short on gold for the next 5 yrs, after all you think it is as close as you can get to an interest free loan! "
History tells me that shorting gold long term is as close as you can get to an interest free loan newbie. not 5 years, but 100 years - 500 years - 1000years -2000years of constant underperformance, the closest thing to a zero real return .
