Prior answer is correct!
I like the real GOLD nuggets.
As most gold is mined as very fine dust and tiny nuggets, the larger (over 1oz) nuggets are very rare! Actually they are as rare as large diamonds!
I would suggest you look into large nuggets!
To see the 'live' spot NY gold price and some museum size gold nuggets I suggest you visit a great site I found a few months ago. I purchase a few nuggets from them just about a month ago, and not only are they beautiful to look at but in just the last few weeks they have really moved up in value!
I'm actually saving to purchase others!
The site is: http://www.california-gold-rush-miner.us
Their museum nuggets are at:

The most expensive gold is called Crystalline gold. Some great photos of it can be viewed at:

I know very little about stocks. But I know everything about gold. Gold Is stable. Back in the 1850's an ounce of gold would buy you a very nice suit. Today an ounce of gold will still only buy you a really nice suit. Signs to look for with gold are when the market gets flooded with gold and the price dips dramatically. Not too long ago gold was around 250 bucks an ounce. Then was the time to buy all the gold you could.Today it is in a more stable range. It is unlikely to soar quickly. Some say gold could reach 1,000 bucks an ounce. I agree it will. But looking at it historically that will probably happen as inflation rises. But Gold will always have value. It can be traded for almost anything and has been. I am just saying Gold is no get rich quick investment. It will only give you a safe place to put your money. Just put your money in a safe place. |

You can't easily answer that question as one or the other. Perdidobum is correct in that they have their cycles when they perform.
For example, from 1982 to 2000, equities were up 1400%, while gold was in the midst of a grueling bear market. Yet from 1971 to 1980, equities were in the grasp of one of the worst equities bear markets, yet gold was up 2300%.
Let's look at now. From the bottom in 2000 to today, the Dow is up 15.5% and from 2002 to today, it's up 88%, which is not bad. But compare that to gold for the same period. From 2000 to today, gold is up 136% and from 2002 to today, it's up 164%. Add to that that this current stock bull is getting long in the tooth, while gold just came off a 22 year secular bear market in 2002 and is only 4 years into a secular bull market. The current cycle right now favors gold.
You see, people get married to an asset class and stick with it come hell or high water. That's the approach of an amateur. Pro's go where the money is being made. They know that all asset classes go through cycles and they move their money accordingly.
Also, you have the one poster that mentioned people buying rice with gold in concentration camps. During times of economic upheavel, gold is a store of wealth and will be readily accepted. For example, during the Post WW1 German hyperinflation, people didn't want marks, they were worthless. But, they readily accepted gold as payment for goods and services. |

'Stock' is better than Gold since it is easy to liquidate in case of urgency and appreciation (return on investments) is also high. The ownership can be easily transferred in the case of stock, cost of preserving (keeping) the stocks is cheaper than that of Gold. |

Investors say stocks are better. I've known people who used gold to buy rice in a concentration camp. Try that with stocks. Their cousins went to the cafeteria every day and ate rats. |

Gold should be in everyone's portfolio, but so should stocks. At times gold will outperform and at times stocks will outperform. |
