Thomas Haegin, IBM will be a better investment if you're assuming that the American economy will cuntinue to have steady growth,low unemployment,low interest rate, no wars, strong eagle dollar, balance import/export, adequate corporate profit, c-low inflation, Zucka continue pouring money into mutual funds, and most important of all "no stock market crash". If that happens, I will shave my head put on an orange wardrobe and become a Har-WE Krishna. Let's face it man, you and I know that the Dow is due for a massive fall. Once it happen, IBM will just become another LEGEND or shall I say HISTORY. I know gold looks more like something that attracts "flies" than something that attracts money, but gold is still a better bet than the dow. Whether U buy bullion or gold stock, five years down the road precious metal will come out victorious. You could take that to the bank! |
