1970 american dollar is backed by gold...today that dollar is worth 12 cents...japan has far worse inflation.

we have been running the printing press in high gear for too long and no one is going to hit the brakes. they cant print gold!! and central banks are buying it heavily.

I agree that stuffing dollar bills in a mattress is a bad idea.

However, if you used that single dollar to buy S&P500, today it would be worth $388.92, a growth factor of 388. Gold is only up by a growth factor of around 100 over that same span. Cash is a terrible investment!!
