His last strip is hanging on the wall.

What you’re saying is like “real estate will never lose its value because there is a limited supply.” 

You can put all your money in gold, and hope for the apocalypse, and then WOW you’ve come out ahead.

Have you ever looked at a chart of the price of gold? Try this: find the chart of the price of gold from 1970-2000. Did it ever go down? How often? If you bought in at any time during that thirty year period, could you have lost money?Now… is gold at an all time low or an all time high? Should you buy low and sell high or vice-versa? Please come back with your answers and we will grade your score later.

When he’s giving advice and he’s been wrong, he should acknowledge that.
