Gold is just like money because it is liquid and easily tradable, with a narrow spread between the prices to buy and sell. Also, gold is easily transportable because it has a high value for its weight. This makes gold an excellent medium of exchange. As an investment, gold typically is viewed as a financial asset that will maintain its value during times of political, social or economic distress. As such, gold can provide individual and institutional investors alike with a portfolio safety net against sharp downward spikes in complementary assets such as stocks & bonds.
