Gold is an excellent hedge in uncertain times; especially when your currency is being devalued or during periods of significant inflation.

Otherwise, a fiat currency is better for the economy. This requires the occasional semblance of sound fiscal and monetary policy <g>. So that graph is entertaining, but not "real".

Some people will always be attracted to gold, like a fish to a shiny lure. And, unfortunately, the result will usually be about the same.
