Long term investments
The many uses of gold make it a very desirable product, not just as monetary system but in industry as well. This desirability is related to population as most gold goes in jewelry and other related products. As population increases, the demand for this commodity also increases. Being extremely recyclable, except in the few instances where gold is irretrievably lost, like in circuitry of space probes and the like, gold supply is relatively constant. However, considering that the amount of gold in the earth is a finite value and is limited to practical accessibility, the production of new gold from mines can therefore be said to be dwindling which impacts supply. Since, price is determined by the laws of supply and demand, increasing demand with decreasing supply is a formula for increasing prices.
