RE: THE BIG PICTUREI just "looked" at a 10 year CHART comparing "gold to paper equities".
From 1997 to 2007 GOLD had a 7.4% "annually compounded" return. While
PAPER EQUITIES (stocks) had a 6.1% "annually compounded" return. No
chance of Wall Street "brokers or the "pencil-heads" on CNBC, will tell
"investors" of GOLD's stellar performance.
