Is Gold a Good Returning Asset?

Gold has seen a pretty good run over the past decade although certainly not as strong as as stocks have seen. Gold historically has been an effective diversifier at certain times in history when there's kind of that breakdown of the monetary system and so on. I think almost everybody is pretty much underweighted to gold it doesn't have the big big piece but you know i would want to sort of break them into are they liquid can you transact? Can you move them as distinct from some other assets let's say like real estate which is very much situational and and not very liquid.
