I may be dead ass wrong but my investement in the S&P500 has done a wee bit better in the last 25 years that the "gold value" investor that bought gold at $750 an ounce 25 years ago. That dead ass right fellow is still under water and, well, I'm not. By a long shot.

That is one weird ass definition of dead ass wrong but if that's being wrong I don't wanna be right.

And I have it on good authority that tulip bulbs are far tastier than gold but then it may be a matter of the spices used.

Heh - It ain't about you and your stock portfolio. We were discussing gold's intrinsic value.

[simon says what]

Gold has beat the S&P 500 price performance by 4.2% this year. Gold is green in this chart and the S&P 500 is blue.

How about 2 years ? Gold has beat the S&P 500 price performance by 6%.

How about 4 years ? hmmm.... gold has beat the S&P 500 price performance by 75%.

How about 8 years ? Gold has beat the S&P 500 price performance by 47%.
