THE FACTS:
Gold Return vs. The Stock Market
A $10,000 investment in gold bullion in 2000 would have grown to $15,589 by 11/30/04 - a whopping 55.89% increase.
That same $10,000 investment in stocks of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 composite index would have decreased to $8,971.
"Equity markets continue to trend lower since the 2000 peak, despite the most stimulative monetary and fiscal policies on record... However, as a 57-year old man, I do not expect to live long enough, even if I live to be 100 years old, to witness a new high in U.S. equity prices."
-- Jay Taylor, Gold & Technology Stocks, October 12, 2004
"Nobody, it seems, is noticing what’s happening as gold moves higher in what promises to be an historic, monster bull market... What we’ve experienced so far is the first phase of what’s shaping up as one of the great bull markets of our time. In this first phase, sophisticated, knowledgeable people take their positions. And that’s what has been happening. This isn’t the crowd buying gold. This isn’t the mutual funds buying gold. This isn’t your neighbor buying gold. This is the big money, the wealthy, the people around the world who know what’s going on who are buying gold.”
-Richard Russell, editor Dow Theory Letters
