<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silveraholic, post: 1872800, member: 67496&quot;]You have only had a brokerage account since 2009 which was the lows of the stock market. Stocks have gone up in a straight line since then due to QE. Many people have had brokerage account since long before 2009 and let me tell you that the 2000&#039;s were pretty much a lost decade for stocks. Stocks actually had a negative total return from 01/01/2000 to 12/31/2009. I&#039;m not sure how you got a 600% return on stocks or a 400% return on land over 5 years but good for you. What happens when QE ends and markets normalize and volatility returns? Stocks will not have 30% gains every year. It&#039;s a good thing to be diversified, and precious metals provides that diversification. By the way if you had pulled your money out of stocks on 01/01/2000 and invested in gold you would have done very well.</p><p><img src="http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz165/kevpatras/Coins/gold_vs_stock_chart_2013_zps67958c3a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
