It has grown $25 in value, but it&#039;s still physically just that one ounce of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>A stock can be bought today for $100.00 and its perceived value tomorrow can be $105. It has grown $5, but it&#039;s still physically just a single share.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both of those scenarios are growth. Please explain if you meant something else. Did you mean shares could be split, and now you have two instead of one? Besides that, the growth of a commodity versus the growth of a stock is really no different. It&#039;s just the perceived value of the thing that is the growth or decline of its value.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re arguing that stocks will grow more than gold, I completely agree. We can just look at average returns over the years to see that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
