<p>[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 3928631, member: 102103"]Gold was about $274 per ounce (not adjusted for an inflation) in 2000. This was a very low price by recent historical standards. Likewise the stock market was in the midst of the first internet boom and fell shortly thereafter. I believe they cherry-picked their starting year. On the longer term, gold tends to underperform compared to stocks. Both are reasonably good hedges against inflation (though volatile) but equities reflect real economic growth where gold largely does not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
