<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 2661590, member: 29012&quot;]I know it is. I was showing you your own behavior, and I also know that the 50 year chart and the 100 year chart and the 1,000 year chart, and pretty much every other chart with any longevity proves your cherry picking is bogus, but I was trying to allow you a tactful retreat. And Y2K was the start of this longterm bull market so it has relevant significance as a measuring stick unlike a blip on the radar like 1980 was.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re investing with a 5 year timeframe, you deserve to lose your money, because that&#039;s unrealistic and greedy, and it&#039;s by no means indicative of a full market cycle.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it is a leap of faith to equate &quot;the price of gold went down&quot; to meaning that it &quot;didn&#039;t protect against inflation&quot;. There are other factors to the price besides inflation. It&#039;s a longterm inflation hedge over time. I figured it was obvious that was what I meant. That&#039;s what you call protection from inflation. That doesn&#039;t mean it protects against the market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
