Hi Mark, Your not so serious question deserves a serious answer:
Investment, at times, is not about making absolute gains, but about preserving relative wealth.
You should not step into a time machine randomly set for a time in the future (50-500 years) carrying olives, cash or the American Express card, and certainly not any equity shares.
You should carry some gold, if not as money, then as commodity recognized the world over, since the dawn of recorded history.
With the remaining space in the time machine allocated to platinum, palladium, rhodium ... the rarer, denser, the better.
We are about to step into the Maestro's time machine. Beside it, I see that the Japanese has been stuck in their machine for a while, and that the Turks just stumbled into the machine meant for the Argentinians. The Koreans and Thai are pretty glad that they carried the right metals, at least some of them did.
