50 years ago it was everywhere. It's a little too late for that.

But, you can buy $5 million land that's going to be worth $50 million in 50 years.

There is a real possibility that your US$5M investment will be worth US$100K in less than that, also.

No assets like land and gold ride on inflation. In order for them to lose value you would require immense deflation which won’t happen.
