I'm in complete agreement that holding something like GLD is only valuable as a hedge against market volatility. As for owning gold rather than "gold", I find appeal in being able to put $30k in my pocket in the event that credit cards or A

The changes that accrue over millenia all happen in some 100 year stretch. My point is that looking at the last 100 years, by definition, will overlook times of revolution and change that certainly have happened and will likely continue t

He omits the only valid reason any non-speculator would own gold - it holds it's value through times of political turmoil - holds it's value over millenia rather than decades or centuries. A coup d'etat may result in seizure of private co

I encourage everyone to actually read the paper. The conclusion is that people want leaders and group members who put the interests of the group first (not a shocking conclusion): https://student-3k.tepper.cmu.edu/gsiadoc/WP/2011-E34.pdf

Sorry to be blunt, but you're confused. The average of the sampled values will be normally distributed, but the values themselves will be uniform. If you sample every number once from [0,100], the average is 50, but that doesn't imply tha
