#3: stocks also produce cash flows, nice!
#4: gold works mostly as an inflation-adjusted monetary policy reset hedge.
Not my area at all, but interesting SCA judgment today dealing with the great Polo versus Polo Ralph Lauren rift in South Africa (fun fact: Ralph Lauren's Polo horse faces left, South Africa's Polo horse faces right)...
