Stop Buying Gold! Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger Will Not Be Happy With You

Dear everyone buying physical gold and gold ETFs,

Stop it! Listen to great investors of yesteryear. They have decades of investing experience and as we all know, past performance is a reliable indicator of future performance, right?

They are both in their eighties -- don't forget, people only get sharper and more open-minded as time goes on, right?

The world that they knew equals the world we all live in today, right?

Sincerely,
