Why can gold standard be kept for so many years? Because the gold reserves are limited, and gold is a metal easily to be weighed and kept without too much wear and tear. It's an ideal way to measure values.
In other words, if gold can be extracted as much as we want, it cannot serve as a measurement standard and won't have the function of maintaining value. If the gold miners' profit goes up due to the quantity of gold extracted, then the value of the gold is sure to go down. That is to say, the more gold the miners extract, the lower price of gold can be expected, on the basis that the whole social wealth is a fixed amount. Maybe this can explain some reasons why the stock prices of gold-miners don't rise as ideally as they should do.
Of course, gold is a measurement to the wealth. In such a slump economy, its value-maintaining character is sure to be reflected in the high price marked by depreciated nominal currency. But another reason may be the overheated expectation hovering on its value-maintaining function, which results too much money inflows on the precious metal. After all, price is decided by the basic value, and the price will finally return to  its proper value in the long run.

黄金真是没什么实际用处，可能因历史传统的缘故，时至今日黄金还是这么受追捧。
想想也是，身边还真是没有什么可拿来替换黄金的东西。

Good！纯支持！

布雷顿森林体系崩溃以后，美元就取消了与黄金的挂钩，那么对于现在的时代来说，作为货币而存在的已不是黄金，而是美元，欧元等一些世界货币（从全世界的角度来看），之所以黄金的价格在持续的飙升，主要还是因为经融危机之后，世界经济并没有太大的起色，而最近又说美国的经济会第二次见底，本来人们的信心就不足，这一下无疑又加剧了恐慌。
再看看我们周边，有什么可以储值的，房地产是泡沫，我国的银行是负利率，投资企业，没有核心竞争力，且信息不对称，那从历史来看，最好就是储存贵金属了，银早被淘汰，那就金吧。
殊不知，金价是不是也会一夜之间暴跌？我们就只有观望了.

我原本真以为投资黄金是风险最低的。 可是黄金市场也有泡沫，这个泡沫如何辨别呢？
一个同事说要投资黄金，我还笑他说：将来实现共产主义社会，就不需要货币了，也不需要黄金了。一二十年下去又会是什么样子。
