FILE - In this Tuesday, July 22, 2014, file photo, gold bars are stacked in a vault at the U.S. West Point, in West Point, N.Y. On March 9, 2017, one of the greatest runs for the stock market in history is marking its eighth anniversary, and this time investors are joining the party. Gold was looking like a better investment than even stocks in the summer of 2011, when its price surged to a record on worries about the U.S. credit rating, Europes debt crisis and the possibility of higher inflation. But each of the concerns has dissipated, and $10,000 invested in the largest gold ETF on March 9, 2009, is now worth about $12,650.
