As an investment asset, gold has many disadvantages, for example, it does not provide capital appreciation. Let's say I buy shares of a promising company, this company pays dividends, so I expect to receive not only an increase in the price of these shares in the future, but also dividends this year. With these dividends paid to me, I can buy even more shares of this company. This is a very profitable proposition!

This way you can significantly maximize your profit. However, gold does not accrue interest and dividends. Moreover, as a rule, it requires significant storage costs and, as a rule, owning gold is associated with trust in other legal entities, for example, commercial banks.

Gold is considered a good safe-haven asset, but if the economy is doing well, individuals and businesses will invest in stocks and bonds rather than gold bullion.

gold is capital growth and like any other actually good stock they're mostly capital growth, dividend is useless because after distribution of divident the price of the stock usually plummet.
personally I prefer capital growth over dividend, as for the case of gold, I agree it's pretty volatile asset if we're talking about price movement these days, but the growth has been pretty linear, no significant drawdown, it's still good hedge against inflation and its uses is exactly this, basically it come back again to function, if someone want to hoard gold to hedge against inflation feel free to invest in gold anytime but gold only showing its brilliant at the time of geopolitical turmoil, otherwise stock is the way or even better, crypto.

Yes, in the short term, dividend payments on shares most often lead to a fall in the share price. And that is why it is advisable to immediately use the received dividends to buy shares that have fallen in price. In the medium term (and especially in the long term), the share price usually rises again. Thus, a skilled investor benefits from both the received dividends and capital gains.

This is not the case with investing in gold... I also think that gold is a very good investment, but the maximum benefit from such an investment can be obtained during a period of chaos and turmoil, when there is a lot of uncertainty about the future of the economy.

Donald Trump has now been elected President of the United States. The general outlines of his future economic policy are already known. He will in every possible way support large corporations and stimulate economic growth in the United States. In such a situation, gold is unlikely to rise in price.

If Donald Trump's economic policy contributes to an increase in the price of Bitcoin, this will also be an unfavorable factor for gold. Because in the current situation, gold and the first cryptocurrency are actually competing with each other.
