<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jjack, post: 1332917, member: 33596&quot;]Stocks offer dividends which is major upside over Gold but however you also stand to lose of money if company under performs (look at oracle) or even great risk from any macro economic factor (recession, currency devaluation check out the emerging markets and see how badly they have gotten pounded thanks to strong dollar etc). </p><p><br /></p><p>Also i don&#039;t see overall indexes going any higher than where they are. Analysts often point to how DoW has done for last 50 years and make a case we will see similar results in next 50 years inspite of a stagnating US markets for last decade or so. Truth is so much has changed from even 1980: Most Americans are fully invested now, intense competition from overseas companies and of course automated trading. If you are investing stick with strong multinational firms (Coke, IBM, CAT etc) which offer good dividend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
