<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1339416, member: 3011&quot;]I don&#039;t know about or trade in the companies you cherry-picked to prove your point.&nbsp; For a company such as XOM, I would argue that it will perform better than most investments including the Treasury I bonds which have been praised in other threads.&nbsp; You are correct that I think the Dow30 is a good place to look for investment ideas, but I don&#039;t personally advocate buying them all.&nbsp; For instance, I&#039;ve pretty consistently indicated that I don&#039;t buy stocks in financials.&nbsp; I believe the Dow is a superior index for the average investor compared to the S&amp;P500 if they intend to invest in an index, but I don&#039;t personally do it that way.&nbsp; So my position stands that stocks are at least as good as gold, probably better under most conditions, and I will continue to respond with my own ideas, so get used to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
