Anything beats gold long term.
In 1970 gold was $36, now it's $1231, and increase of 34 times.
In 1970 a Sydney house was $18,700, now it's $1,026,000 an increase of 55 times. (excluding rent)
The gold companies that existed on the XGD years ago are no longer there either but that doesn't make the index irrelevant.
===================
One argument follows that in the long-term, gold's high volatility when compared to stocks and bonds, means that gold does not hold its value compared to stocks and bonds:[54]
To take an extreme example [of price volatility], while a dollar invested in bonds in 1801 would be worth nearly a thousand dollars by 1998, a dollar invested in stocks that same year would be worth more than half a million dollars in real terms. Meanwhile, a dollar invested in gold in 1801 would by 1998 be worth just 78 cents.[54]
