<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 822421, member: 3011&quot;]I&#039;ll be the first to admit that gold will not provide the best long term return compared to other asset classes.&nbsp; But I think it has its place and time.&nbsp; And you are correct that once money is lost, it is difficult to regain compared to other investments that will also be rising.&nbsp; For example, if one person invested in the stock market when the Dow was 14,000, and another invested in gold, the stock investor would be way behind.&nbsp; If the gold investor now switched to stocks, the all-stock investor would never catch up.&nbsp; The only thing you can do is start fresh every day, and ask yourself what you can do TODAY that makes sense and has a high probability of a positive return.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t matter at all that gold was $850 in 1980 or $$300 eight years or so ago.&nbsp; But no investment always outperforms all other.&nbsp; Sometimes stocks, sometimes bonds, sometimes cash, sometimes PMs and sometimes other commodities will outperform for months or years at a time.&nbsp; You don&#039;t have to make back the losses in the same way you lost, so there are always ways to recover value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
