europe is collapsing, buy gold & expect qe, page-23

Skol,

Can you post any facts during times of financial crisis? It is highly unlikely anyone will hold a single asset for 60 years, 100 years etc. How about 2000-2012, which is the most relevant to us now. Maybe this from Wikipedia

"Since 1800, stocks have consistently gained value in comparison to gold in part because of the stability of the American political system.[55] This appreciation has been cyclical with long periods of stock outperformance followed by long periods of gold outperformance. "


So it depends where in that cycle the most productive years of your life sit. For us gold and silver are looking pretty damn good.

re:1952 on, the fifties were pretty good years i.e. post world war II industrial boom, especially in America since the losers were heavily indebted to them.
