<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 1338431, member: 9167&quot;]Lie...no. I don&#039;t usually give out my investment options, but to prove a point I will this once, and I picked perhaps my most conservative stock in my portfolio, NSC (Norfolk Southern Corp).</p><p>Dec 31 2010 closed at $62.82</p><p>Dec 30 2011 closed at $72.86</p><p>$10.04 gain per share or +14.22%</p><p><br /></p><p>And thats a very short term look.You can not take the S&amp;P 500 or the DJIA or NASDAQ and equate their numbers toward the stock market in general, as you can plainly see by my one example.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, why am I here if I constantly seem to be bashing bullion &quot;investing&quot;, but what is really speculation? So that I might encourage at least a few to study up on sound investment instead of the Vegas style bullion racket. If gold were the answer there wouldn&#039;t be any for you or me or anyone in the private sector to buy, because banks and governments would have bought it all long ago and held it as a security. We all know how little gold there is in the world and it&#039;s not a stretch to realize just how quickly it would disappear if it were a good investment. The fact that anyone can buy it anywhere at any time says I&#039;m not incorrect. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not against buying gold. I&#039;m just stating options that may not be as dangerous. I know a lot of people that thought the tech stocks of the 90&#039;s were a sure thing too.</p><p>Guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
