Gold is not an investment

Ads are popping up everywhere promising large returns from "investing" in gold. That is very confusing, since gold is not an investment (or a collectible - like the IRS treats it).
Gold is cash. Cash is not an investment, but a refuge that one seeks when there are no viable investments available or the outlook is too murky to make any sense of it.
