If you ask people whether you should buy/sell/hold gold, most today would say buy or hold.
Of course, gold did hit an all-time high of $5,589 in January 2026, largely on the backs of central banks buying in record numbers as reserve diversification has come into fashion amid rising geopolitical tensions.
Gold is trading around $4,000 right now, so it's down a ways from its peak, though it's still up 120% over the past 5 years. Even Bitcoin, i.e. digital gold, is up 115% in that span.
Then there's Ethereum. ETH currently trades around $1,900, which is down 5% from where it was trading at ($2k) at this point in 2021.
So gold doubled, and BTC doubled, yet the flagship programmable money venture (with native yield, the most stablecoins, institutional tokenization experiments, etc.) has underperformed.
