<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1334530, member: 3011&quot;]Corporate revenue and earnings generally at least match inflation, so stock market averages will move up over time even if the companies are not growing in real, after inflation terms.&nbsp; Most 401k plans offer something similar to an index fund or large cap fund.&nbsp; Most large cap companies operate in emerging countries, and matching the S&amp;P500 is a fairly good result from an investment program.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know anybody&#039;s personal situation here, and I am not offering specific investment advice.&nbsp; My only point is that after a decade of gold moving up 6X in price and stocks going nowhere, the probability is pretty high that stocks will outperform gold over the next ten years, in my opinion.&nbsp; Some folks here completely rule out the stock market as an investment vehicle because of recent past performance, and historically this has been a mistake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
