So what ? But while on history-everyone's a expert after the event but you can't put a bet on at the finish of a race.
You overlook the obvious indisputable fact there's been very long periods of misery for DJIA investors and speculators over various periods which will probably occur again.....maybe sooner rather than later.
I challenge you to give us all a few of your famous comparative 'return' charts (DJIA/gold) for other periods such as say from 1929 and 1954, 1973 to 1983 and 1999 to 2010.
Shatters the thrust of your narrative doesn't it and consigns many of your posts to the dustbin of irrelevance.
