Why Gold Hasn't Been a Hedge Against Inflation

big macs (MCD) has done better than GLD for the last 3 years but that is it....... GLD has done 18%/yr average since it's creation in November of 2004 so what's the problem with that......... use a 300 dSMA and SET YOUR "STOPS" then get a life. Do it in your self directed IRA to avoid tax hassles.

Portfolio Preservation in a Down Market

"Buy and hold" is a sales gimmick.......
"Diversification" is a sales gimmick......
"Dollar cost averaging" is a sales gimmick but can be useful for many people in an IRA.........
"Efficient market theory" is nonsense........
Puts, calls, Cramer, Brinker and over 90% of mutual funds are BS... (ETF's are superior).........
Just be sure to set your "stops"....... an exit strategy is the most important thing in investing... IMHO
Buying individual stocks is for fools........ IMHO
KEEP IT VERRRRRY SIMPLE !!!!!
