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?

Listen Lurko, why don't you tell me how much an investment of $1000 in gold in 1980 compares to the same investment in the S&P 500 with dividends reinvested?

Listen Toddo, you're not supposed to ask questions, you're just supposed to look at the damn chart and go buy damn some gold!

Sheesh, people can be so difficult...

The primary trend for the next 8-10 years is down, you and I and our wives and children each owe $40,000? to some foreigners we don't know, retail buying just fell off a cliff, interest rates are going to go up another 3/4% in the next three months, they are DOUBLING the minimums payments due on all outstanding credit card balances, and the guy I voted for wants to spend $200 BILLION to renovate a swamp.

do what ever you want todd.

I wish I was wrong. Every time gold goes up it means that the greeen pieces of paper in my wallet have LOST VALUE.

Good luck to us,
