hey aussie no offence intended but your gold articles are the most one eyed , paranoid rantings ive read in a while.

heres a random date ive plucked out of the air and compared returns of gold , stocks and cash
by the way most people who hold cash get a return and compound it.


Here's the scorecard, using $10000 as a constant.

In stocks: $10,000 on March 31, 1980 becomes $86,948 on March 31, 2009

In cash: $10,000 on March 31, 1980 becomes $31,186 on March 31, 2009

In Gold: $10,000 on March 31, 1980 becomes $14,027 on March 31, 2009

it cant be true the shiny metal has returned sweet **** all, and thats being generous as i have factored in zero dividends in stocks and only a 4% compounded return for cash.
must have been gold cartel manipulation.

i just think you need to read some of these articles from a more balanced perspective.
