tippet...re: gold vs dell...

may i join in the foray...and come to the defense of chuzz (not that he needs to be defended)...and all those who clearly understand that gold is not a monetary store of value as you claim...

compare gold with any of the indices over the past 100 years...only one who is myopic, incredible naive as an investor (defined by you as "sell for profit at some time in the future"),and cannot enjoin in an intellectual honest discussion, came come to the conclusion that gold is a better investment than something as mundane as a stock index...let alone the performance of a growth stock...

IF DELL WAS TO LOSE 80% OF ITS VALUE...TRADE DOWN TO $8, IT STILL HAS HAD AN INCREDIBLE APPRECIATION SINCE IT'S INCEPTION....GOLD DOWN TO $250 STILL 70% OFF IT'S ALL TIME HIGH...GOLD DOES NOT SPLIT IT'S OUNCES AS IT APPRECIATES...DELL SPLITS IT'S STOCK...

conclusion...the only way dell would have a comparitive value less than gold is if the had no value and ended trading...

i'm open to your position...i've shown you hard fast facts..if you can disprove my position, than i will convert all my investments to gold...

and let's negate your argument at this point, that you refer to buying dell at this level..we can only look at past results, and we will also negate the "invest in the past" retort...compare what we know and can prove...and stop challenging others to prove a negative...a ploy which is absurd in it's own right...i await your intellect and wisdom...for i can always learn from one who is accomplished...ed a.

p.s. be honest enough to share with us your current equity positions, be they short or long..it is welcomed!
