I've seen more ads for platinum-plated than silver-plated quarters. Brought to you by the same clowns who gold-plate them. A platinum layer would...
Supporting example: platinum. Industrial metal, tanking. Counterexample: palladium. Industrial metal, continuing to bubble. At this point, I...
real research def. Reading, listening to, or watching sources that make claims supporting my preconceptions (I know, I had to look it up after my...

I was thinking more in terms of "buy in 1978 and sell a year or two later" vs. "buy in 1978 and sell 33 years later".
Well, that wouldn't really have been "quick"...
