<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 963665, member: 3011&quot;]The comparison is only valid after gold transformed from currency to commodity.&nbsp; Money isn&#039;t an investment and can&#039;t be expected to earn an investment rate of return.&nbsp; This didn&#039;t happen until after Nixon closed the gold window.&nbsp; There was no huge profit the day it became legal to buy gold.&nbsp; In fact, the price fell for awhile.&nbsp; But we can agree to disagree about the return.&nbsp; In the meantime, the DJIA will have to rise to about 50,000 to get even with holding gold over the past decade.&nbsp; And that is the only point I&#039;m trying to make.&nbsp; Sometimes gold outperforms.&nbsp; Sometimes stocks or something else outperforms.&nbsp; I don&#039;t expect to be a buyer of much more gold or silver.&nbsp; I expect to be a seller sometime in the next 5 years.&nbsp; Hope for the best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
