<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1280070, member: 26302&quot;]Its on every prospectus to try to warn investors of risk. If the SEC had the authority, I am sure they would have it printed on prospectus&#039; for gold and silver as well. It is just a general warning. Its true, but just because its on stocks and not on PM does not mean it doesn&#039;t apply to all investments.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to stock returns, I think you are cherrypicking your dates. You are going back to the bottom of a severe correction. I believe its best to avoid severe market changes to start a comparison date from, as it is misleading. Go back 5 or 10 years if you wish to make such a statement is my suggestion. Absent the bounce back from the correction I do not believe you will find stocks up.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for stocks, I agree one can no longer buy GM or ATT or GE and hold for 50 years like they did in the past. My overall problem is what do you do with money? Bonds are horrible returns, PM have gone up x6 or more from when I bought, farmland I bought has gone up x5 in the last decade. Almost every asset class I am interested in is up substantially, bonds give negative returns versus inflation, and stocks are flat over a decade. I just don&#039;t know where capital should flow except to try to pick out undervalued, or to try to determine future overperforming, stocks or other equity instruments. My only other thought is real estate, either commercial or residential, but with the overhang still out there, I am not sure what its outlook is.</p><p><br /></p><p>I very well could be wrong in these thoughts. I would be open to anyone correcting me, or changing my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
