# Gold vs Stocks: Which Beat Which in 10 Years?



Imagine you threw $1k into gold a decade ago. Today? About $2,360. Not bad—136% gain, annualized 13.6% return.

But here's the kicker: S&P 500 crushed it with 174% over the same period (17.41% annually). Stocks won this round.

Why's gold so moody? It doesn't generate cash flow like stocks or real estate. It just sits there looking shiny. But that's exactly why people love it—when markets go sideways or inflation rips, gold becomes the ultimate "screw it" hedge. 2020 pandemic? Gold jumped 24.43%. 2023 inflation chaos? +13.08%.

Forecasters say gold could hit ~$3k per ounce in 2025 (+10%).

Bottom line: Gold's not a get-rich-quick move. It's insurance. Stocks print money in good times; gold saves you when everything burns. Pick your poison based on what scares you more.
