  • Gold: How the Mainstream Gets It So Wrong [View article]
    Nothing like using your own fuzzy math and a 109 year old strategy to preserve your wealth

    US corporations today pay peanuts for dividends if anything and when you buy stocks in the US markets you depend on the greater fool theory of some sucker actually paying more than you did and this may not be the best way to protect and preserve your wealth that was probably earned through sound investing in the past.

    Maybe you did not notice to what happened last Oct and again in Mar and will happen again soon. Stocks can become near worthless just like the US $

    Maybe Coke is way up, but you forgot to mention how much GM, AIG, C, F, MSFT etc etc are up. You just keep holding your worthless pieces of paper paying some paltry dividend and I'll hold my gold, because the world changed radically last year and you better open your eyes to that fact.
