It can't be both not an investment and an awful investment.

Yes, it can be.

It's a quantum investment. Schrodinger's gold.

It's very odd behaviour by pooper. From Jun 2007 to Sep 2011 peak, gold more than tripled in GBP terms. I just happened to catch some of that run and made a 42% profit. Not sure why that's such a big deal to him.

Absolutely - the stock market was the place to be during his dates. He would have made almost 90% during those same dates. Gold is an awful investment. Effectively he lost half his money by staying in the metal rather than stocks.

How do you cope, when you're consistently wrong about almost everything? It must be really tough.
