>But as for gold, your gold will stay with you unless the government decides to confiscate it. You're infinitely more likely to get robbed than the bank is to fail or the S&P500 is to go to zero. Also, as I said most people invest in gold indirectly and they hold a certificate that says they hold X amount of gold. Idiots store gold at their property and the exchange rates for buying/selling make this by far one of the worst strategies.
