And you still haven't, or are you just incapable of understanding what I said?

I don't understand what your point is. Yes, in 1966 one ounce of gold was a better purchase (oh, right, you couldn't) than holding $35 with no interest until now.

In 1980, one ounce of gold was a worse purchase than holding $800 with no interest until now.

Buying the S&P 500 index would have beat gold and cash over both those time frames. So, what was your stupid point again? That gold is more stable? I'm still laughing at that one.

OK, I misjudged you, you obviously ARE in fact incapable of understanding me. Goodby.
