I still dont expect to make as much in gold as I would in other commodities

Jim Rogers : The supply and demand dynamics for gold have been different from other commodities for two or three decades. I own some gold, but I’ve always tried to explain to people that they would make more money in other commodities than they would in gold,because of the supply and demand dynamics. Now that has been true for the last decade or so. Take lead for instance, in fact,you would have made a lot more money over the past thirty years, the past twenty years, the past ten years, than you would have in gold. But if you own gold, I still don’t expect to make as much in gold as I would in things like corn and soy beans. But I own it. - Jim Rogers interviewed by Peter Schiff
