<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 1282174, member: 3011"]It is always easy to find a loser to talk about like Nortel. It's just as easy to talk about the big winners like the great Canadian company Imperial Oil. The last decade hasn't been that great, but anybody who stayed in a broadly diversifed portfolio in the US or Canada is probably no worse than even. Look back farther in time and the performance will no doubt improve. Not everyone has the nerves to stay invested in stocks, but anyone at CoinTalk who is comfortable staying in exceptionally speculative investments like gold and silver should be able to handle it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The point I would like people to think about is this. Is it better to invest in an asset class like stocks that has underperformed the underlying growth in earnings for a decade, or invest in an asset class like PMs that is many multiples higher in price than it was a decade ago?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
