I did not say gold had lost against the dollar. What I was meaning if you had invested in mutual funds or other stocks you would have much more money even after you adjust for inflation and the devaluing of the dollar.
That is counting the stock crash of 1929 and the 2008 down turn.
Gold just holds value it does not "gain" value very well. The "high" value of gold per ounce today is just a reflection of the drop in the value of the dollar. It is not a good indicator of the increase in the real value of gold.
