<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1354614, member: 22143&quot;]I have yet to run into anyone who says that Gold is <u>always</u> best.&nbsp; I&#039;ve run into plenty that will say that Stock is <u>always</u> best including you.&nbsp;&nbsp; This isn&#039;t a simple black and white color choice.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My position is and has always been, that past results are not an indication of the future.&nbsp;&nbsp; The investor should look at conditions now and move forward with a strategy based on that.&nbsp; The point being made is that when the system of regulation has been destroyed, a point that you always ignore, then there is simply no way for someone to judge risk in a reasonable manner and thus caution is advised.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Re-characterizing this as an &quot;gold is always best&quot; argument is nonsense.&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Fed turned around and raised interest rates to 15% tomorrow, I&#039;d be lining up at the local gold bookie to get rid of my gold as fast as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp; Will this happen?&nbsp; Most likely not because it will take down too much of the status quo.&nbsp; One has to move forward based on reasonable expectations on what the future holds, and not what happened when granddad was starting out.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hopefully most reading this topic, who are willing to listen, understand some of this now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
