Specifically, if you had invested $1,000 in gold ten years prior, the value of your investment today would be $1,886.56.

While this return is not insignificant, it is important to consider other investment options and how they have performed over the same period.

For instance, investing in stocks, particularly through the S&P 500 index, would have yielded a much higher return.
