"Stocks, bonds, etc" are nearly the entirely of the real economy. 95% of the value of gold is "you own a monkey image". The value of gold for catalytics is tiny. If gold wasn't used as a reserve currency for the world economy, it would be extremely cheap for industrial and jewelery uses.
Stocks, bonds, etc are effectively NFTs of "you own a monkey image". That monkey image can go poof on a 'market correction' aka 95% of investors lose everything.
With precious metals, you own the material. And silver, gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium and others have innate usage for a variety of industrial and jewelery uses. Their prices may change, but catalytics arent just going to bottom out.
We still have stocks, cause 401k's. But we also have a sizable metal buffer now.
