Gold At 20 Year High
Tuesday, January 5, 2010:
Wonder why there are so many ads on TV encouraging you to buy “GOLD”?
If you had bought gold in 2002 – just 8 years ago – at about $290/ounce, wouldn’t you want to sell your gold today at $1,200+/ounce for a whopping 414% profit. Well – duh.
I remember reading Scrooge McDuck comic books when I was a kid. He was Donald Duck’s rich uncle who had a huge building filled like a swimming pool with coins and dollar bills. Every issue pictured old Scrooge – literally swimming in his money.
Well, that’s all gold is good for. You can hold it, clink it between your fingers, admire it, – and then put it away in a drawer like an old pair of unused socks. If you bought it at $1,200 – you’ll also be wishing your life away that someone would buy it from you at an even higher price.
The chart above tells the storey pretty well, don’t you think. Buy high – sell low is not the right way to play the investment game.
