Stocks or Gold — where should I invest?
The Direct Answer: Common wrong question—the right one: "In what ratio should I combine them?" They work in beautiful opposition: stocks thrive in stability & growth, gold shines in crises & chaos—owning both lets your portfolio breathe in every climate. Historically since 2000: gold outperformed in the crisis decade (2000-2011), US stocks in the easing decade (2012-2021), then gold reclaimed the lead (2022-2025).
💡 For Arab investors specifically, gold plays an extra role absent for Americans: hedging against local currency collapse—so reasonable Arab allocations lean higher in gold (20-35%) vs. classic Western recommendations (5-10%).
