Cijena zlata najčešće se izražava u iznosu američkih dolara koje je potrebno izdvojiti za jednu uncu (31,1 grama) zlata na svjetskim burzama.
Ona u trenutku pisanja ovog članka iznosi oko 1700 američkih dolara, što je tek nekoliko postotaka više od razine na kojoj je cijena bila početkom 2020. godine, prije početka pandemije. Relativno niska razina cijene zlata posljedica je nedavnog pada koji traje već mjesecima.

The quote above is from a 2011 episode of CNBC’s Squawk Box, but he also brings this idea up in his 2011 letter to shareholders.</p>
<p style=”box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: ‘Open Sans’; font-size: 15px; color: #333333; clear: inherit;”>“What motivates most gold purchasers is their belief that the ranks of the fearful will grow,” he says in the letter. And indeed, gold is often described as a safe haven investment, meaning that people flock to it in times of turmoil in order to feel more secure and to balance out other areas of their portfolios.</p>
<p style=”box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: ‘Open Sans’; font-size: 15px; color: #333333; clear: inherit;”>While Buffett admits that “during the past decade this belief has proved correct” — in other words, fear did spur gold demand — overall he sees going long on fear as a problem. And again he goes back to the idea that gold lacks utility and is not procreative.</p>

By his calculations, that’s equivalent to roughly a billion acres of farmland in the US plus seven ExxonMobils (NYSE:XOM) and with an additional US$1 trillion to spare.</p>
<p style=”box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: ‘Open Sans’; font-size: 15px; color: #333333; clear: inherit;”>“And if you offered me the choice of looking at some 67-foot cube of gold … and the alternative to that was to have all the farmland of the country, everything, cotton, corn, soybeans, seven ExxonMobils. Just think of that. Add $1 trillion of walking around money. I, you know, maybe call me crazy but I’ll take the farmland and the ExxonMobils,” he said</p>
