This course helped me clearly understand how gold behaves during market swings, why it matters in a portfolio, and what drives its price. It explained the big factors—like central banks, the dollar, and regulations—in a straightforward way. Overall, it gave me a solid, practical understanding of gold’s role in today’s financial world. This is my third course with Professor Campbell R. Harvey, and his teaching always delivers substance, clarity, and real-world application.

Professor Harvey offers an insightful and rigorous introduction to understanding gold: its characteristics, pricing, and returns as an investment in both the short and long term. The course is well-paced and logically structured, though I found it a bit too short. Fortunately, it can be complemented by his research and follow-up course. I would love to see Professor Harvey develop a course on Smart Beta or Factor Investing in the near future.

In today's market and the uprising acceptance/relevance of bitc, and in this war-torn uncertain world,crisis-hedge or safe-heaven assets are becoming a talking point. This is where gold comes in. From its historical performance to its characetristics as an asset - good to learn all that from a veteran practioner on the same

This is an excellent course on the foundation of Gold markets. not only one sided view, the course examines various views on the potential path Gold prices could take in the future. Dr. Harvey has a history of providing exceptional and relevant materials - looking forward to taking his upcoming courses.

A simple-to-understand, yet helpful course if you're considering investing in gold. The pros and cons are presented in an obvious and compelling way; the teacher is both very knowledgeable and extremely clear in his reasoning.

Very structured course, rock solid reasoning and data. Loved it (despite already knowing the topic quite well)

Excellent introduction !
