The economist John Maynard Keynes once famously dismissed gold as a ???barbarous relic.???

Keynes was actually referring to the gold standard.

But his inflammatory description reflected his heartfelt sentiment about gold.

Nevertheless, gold has maintained its unique status as both a commodity and a store of monetary value.

Gold is the ultimate safe-haven investment when the stock and bond markets head south.

All three of these factors helped propel gold prices to one of its greatest runs ever.
