If you had bought gold at its low in the 1990s, you'd have doubled your money. If you bought a basket of Nazdog stocks at the same time, you'd still be out money.

I think your charts are upside down. The Nasdaq was around 350 in early 1990's, it's up 700+% since then. As for individual stocks, I remember that well. I went long Dell in 1993 at a split adjust 33 cents. It's now 31. Microsoft and Intel and Cisco were the only other big Nas stocks people bought back then. Each have split 8 times.

Gold's low was in 1999. It has outperformed the Nasdaq by 73% since then... sergeantdave's post was accurate.

Gold = Green         NASDAQ = Blue

The price of gold hit $250 in May, 1999. So your Nazdog buy in 1993 has no relevance. If you bought both gold and a basket of Nazdog stocks in May, 1999, you'd have doubled your money in gold. With Nazdog, you'd still be out money.
