So, if I had invested $100,000 in gold in 1986 it would be worth $520,000 today. If I had invested $100,000 in the stock market on June 1, 1986 it would be worth $1,250,000 today, an increase of $730,000 over gold. I'm sure there are good people on this forum who believe Armageddon is just around the corner, and have believed that much of their lives. As for me, I do not and am glad I never invested in gold back in the 1980's.
