<p>Gold is having its “precious” moment, soaring more than 40% this year — its best run since 1979. But is it really the safe-haven hedge investors think it is? In this episode of The Fastest 4 Minutes in Finance, Scott Inman breaks down:</p>
<ul>
<li>Why gold prices are skyrocketing (weaker dollar, Fed rate cut expectations, central bank demand)</li>
<li>The risks of treating gold as a hedge or “can’t lose” investment</li>
<li>How gold compares to long-term stock market returns</li>
</ul>
<p>Before you rush to buy, remember: gold is speculative, volatile, and doesn’t produce earnings or dividends. The bottom line? It may play a role in your portfolio, but it should never be driven by fear.</p>
