8 Reasons ETF Investors Go for the Gold

I can think of another asset that holds its value over the long term. It rises in value with inflation, but unlike gold, it actually serves a useful purpose.

That asset is housing. Home values have tracked and increased along with inflation as long as there has been a price put on them. In addition, being a levered investment, it provides much better protection from inflation.

Just don't forget, like gold, it is subject to occasional massive price corrections. I'm not saying gold is a bad investment. Just realize it holds the same downside risks as any other asset before you buy it.
