I'm holding until maturity. It has a real inflation adjusted yield of roughly 1.9%.<br /><br />I also have a large assortment of I-Bonds and TIPS (in ladders).<br /><br />I'm done playing in the casinos. What I have done is not safe, but I do think it is safer than most alternatives.<br /><br />I'm bearish long-term. I retired off of investing.

Yo...CP,<br /><br /><i>Can you compare elements to hydrocarbons?</i><br /><br />You can, but you can only share the results if they are favorable to gold, lol.<br /><br />We burn oil. Eventually we may run out. We don't burn gold though. That really makes it special.<br /><br />Here's a thought. If we burn every last drop of oil on this planet then what will the gold to oil ratio be then? It is supposed to remain a constant! That's what I am told.<br /><br />Is it any wonder that Mad Max wasn't hoarding gold? The math was too complex!<br /><br />This is absolutely your last chance to buy 14mg gold coins as seen on TV by the way. Not only are you limited to 5, but there's only so much 1/2200th of an ounce of gold to go around.<br /><br />(14mg is roughly 1/2200th of a troy ounce.)Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527840491496268397.post-3031059714346722222011-01-19T20:23:43.250-07:002011-01-19T20:23:43.250-07:00CP,

This could justify the price climb, arguments about P/E, likelihood of such results continuing, etc aside. So from a performance point of view, one can understand owning it. Because after all, the job of a money manager is to generate returns. <br /><br />But that could be a crowded rush for the exits, should that ever come about; a regular stampede, one could say.eahilfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917658744700868462noreply@blogger.com
