Thank you, my remarks are related to my search of a true store of value over many years that span well over a generation, as mentioned 30 to 40 years.

transitory price fluctuation of asset classes are natural and 10% to 15% over 1 to 2 years are very common.

For several years now, I am trying to ascertain what would be a true store of value that outperforms other means of investments and returns a compound performance above inflation, without the need to engage in selling or buying over that period of 30 to 40 years or the danger of confiscation or excessive taxation, which is very real for gold as an example, as it was done in the past.

I differentiate between trading even once or twice a year, like let say writing long term puts on gold if I do not mind to own it at lower prices, or vice versa, and a situation where I buy and hold and forget about it, except some steady maintenance fees and income as an example for fertile agricultural land (for lack of better definition), which in itself is not as simple to own and rent.

Items or works of excusite fine art may fit such definition, but its maintenance and price fluctuation are huge and the disposal expenses very expensive and final price highly unpredictable, therefore it cannot qualify at all.
