Tell me about it, gold is a horrible investment. My grandfather always played in it because he found it fun, and never made much. I think he bought a new truck with his earnings once in awhile, but it was a hobby to much work for the return.

The best ROI is still real estate, stocks, and investing in your own business. The fundamentals have not changed.

OTOH if you like owning shiny metal go nuts, I can certainly think of dumber things to buy than gold bars.
