[Wednesday Wisdom] Gold vs Dividends

"Gold is a commodity; over the long run, as we look back, it has not been a good investment. You can't look at the intrinsic value of gold as you can a business. Gold doesn't give you cash flow, and, at the end of the day, cash flow is what is important. Gold doesn't give you dividends."

Michael Lee-Chin, OJ (born 1951) is a Jamaican business magnate, investor, and philanthropist.
