<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1543988, member: 3011&quot;]The fact is that there are no 20 year periods when common stocks have not had a positive total return.&nbsp; The same cannot be said for PMs.&nbsp; So &quot;gamble&quot; is in the mind of the beholder and should be periodically fact checked by anyone wishing to preserve capital.&nbsp; I like PMs and I like common stocks right now.&nbsp; But this will change over time as the probabilities of gain and loss change.&nbsp; Nothing is always good and the intelligent investor will recognize this and act accordingly rather than make PMs or any investment class a religion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
