Then again, when you buy into a market that's selling at 20 times earnings and paying a miniscule 1.75% dividend, what can you expect?

I haven't checked lately. What is gold's earnings and what kind of dividend does it pay?

listen toddo,

I don't care of your dividends. It's not return ON investment - it's return OF investment.

If your equities go down the drain who cares what your dividends are?

That depends on whether I bought them because I screwed up or whether I bought them "just because..."
