This is not just for you but to all here interested in buying gold and Silver: Is it possible that gold has run up so much that it could be over valued at present? I know there are a lot of concerns around the world and in this country right now. People historically have purchased gold during. uncertain times as a safe fungible store of value.

I did a quick look at historical prices and saw that gold was selling at $1,640 on October 19, 2022. Now it is at $4,368. This is a bit more than inflation over 3 years.

Admittedly, I do not understand gold as an investment. I am just concerned that buying now might be buying at the high and we might be see an eventual reversion to a more moderate trend line.

Why should gold appreciate so much faster than inflation? Its a known valued commodity that has been around for quite a while. Certainly there are uses that consume some quantity of gold but I would think much of it is stored in secured repositories. I am genuinely interested to learn why gold is expected to appreciate at an accelerated rate going forward?
