🔥 How to view gold as an investment? Howard Marks' latest comments spark heated discussion: this thing is not an investment at all!

Co-founder of Oak Tree Capital directly states: gold has no cash flow, is difficult to value, and its price is driven by market sentiment. In simple terms, those who see it as the "ultimate store of value" are essentially engaging in a collective consensus game.

📉 Conversely, assets like stocks and bonds that can generate continuous income—where does gold's value support come from? Essentially, it's still believed that it’s worth something. History has shown that once a risk event occurs, the so-called "hedging properties" are easily exposed. It’s a bit like a modern version of "The Emperor’s New Clothes."

🚨 Although central banks buying gold and geopolitical tensions raised gold prices by 7% in 2026, Marks gives a clear warning: without an intrinsic return mechanism supporting the hype, it will eventually cool down. Once market consensus shifts, how much value is left in your "hedging gold"?

💎 What does this tell us—when allocating assets, it’s worth reflecting: truly reliable choices should be based on measurability, estimability, and the ability to generate real returns. Don’t let outdated beliefs hijack your wealth decisions.

Gold is just a consensus scam, but crypto is too. Why not mention that?

Max says gold is not an investment, but our consensus is faith... this is what transcends cycles.

Wait, no, this logic seems to apply to ETH as well? No cash flow, relying on market sentiment... should I reflect on my position [bitter smile]?

Gold will fall, but can BTC fall? The fundamental logic is different, right?

This is an opportunity to build positions in the bottom range, everyone. Don't be scared off by negative news. Is the return to value still far away?

This round of comments is actually teaching us a lesson: only assets that can generate returns are worth holding. Remember that.

Max's words sound great, but how come gold hasn't died after thousands of years? The consensus game is a total win.

Max's words are harsh; gold is just hot potato... Come to think of it, isn't this logic the same for some coins?

Max's words sound harsh, but seasoned gold players have known this for a long time... However, speaking of which, the crypto circle's assets that rely on consensus aren't doing much better either.

If you deny gold because it has no cash flow, then what about ETH? What is it supported by?

Central banks are still疯狂ly stockpiling gold. It's a bit funny to be pessimistic at this time.

Consensus game? The entire market is playing it—gold, Bitcoin, and even USD. What's the problem with that?

I agree that assets should be measurable and estimable, but honestly, which assets can truly withstand a stress test?

Real preservation of value still requires diversified allocation. Trusting everything to a big V's opinion—that's just plain foolish.

Gold is inherently a faith-based game, Max is right. Instead of hoarding gold, it's better to focus on assets with cash flow—that's the real way to go.

As for gold, Max's words are actually quite eye-opening... The collective consensus game indeed lacks any real core support; frankly, it's still just a matter of faith recharge.

Is gold just a consensus scam? What about crypto? Haha, we're playing the same game too.

Max's argument sounds reasonable, but the reason that gold doesn't generate cash flow can also be used to criticize Bitcoin... what's the difference?

Max's words sound great, but people have been hoarding gold for thousands of years. What does that tell us... Consensus is probably the most solid asset, similar to whether you believe in it or not.
