Should you hold gold in your retirement portfolio? In this video, Ken Fisher discusses his experience and the general difficulties in forecasting gold.
Gold is a commodity that can experience significant volatility. It can go through long stretches of underperformance. For many investors, it can be easy to get into or out of gold at the wrong time. In fact, if you can successfully forecast gold prices, you probably don’t need investment advice at all!
Will gold help you or hurt you on your way to building a strong retirement portfolio? If you can’t time gold prices successfully, you have a number of other options to build a retirement portfolio to meet your needs. Consider your goals and how to allocate your portfolio investments to get there. Before investing in any asset, whether it is a commodity like gold or not, think about how it fits into your broader portfolio planning. Are you choosing investments that align with your long-term goals and growth needs? For most investors, investment allocation is a critical component of being able to support a comfortable retirement. What’s right for you depends on your personal situation.

He also didn't mention how bad gold is long term.
I believe gold is THE worst investment since 1900. Way lower return than stocks or even bonds. And really bad after inflation. So much for being an inflation hedge.
Ken Fisher saying “no” for 1 minute and 50 seconds… 👍😎
Just buy stonks then… gold is store of value. Not a commodity
He's right, gold behaves very badly! I have a terrible time investing in gold –
good advise sir
I've never met anyone that actually predicts gold's price action even remotely well. It's wild and unpredictable.
Great advice
The message 'unless you're an expert market timer you wont make money in gold'. Me, gonna put some in gold and hodl anyway
Thank you so much, Mr. Fisher for sharing your enormous experience. I am always deeply impressed by your short, clear and trustworthy statements regarding issues with which I had struggled for a long time and for which I haven't found clear answers, yet.
