>> Again, worldwide capacity and productivity increases argue against inflation. So, the fundamental case for gold is pretty thin. One credible argument for gold is diversification away from paper assets. But this can arguably be done more profitably via yielding real assets such as real estate, farm or wood land, energy partnerships, etc. <<

A very good point certainly, but gold is not tied to global economic growth unlike most of the other yielding assets you mentioned. Gold is money. Liquid and portable money.
