sure. however, the secular bull is now quite aged. once a secular bull ends usually losses between 60-80% ensue, that take 10-15 years to recover. it is during those times that gold usually outperforms.

<I purposely included the 1970's bear market and run-away inflation period, so that you may not accuse me of cheating. But, from 1970 to 2000, one who had DCA'ed into the S&P would have handily beaten one who bought gold instead. <VBG>>

But haven't you notice that the whole argument made by some is that the S&P is WAY overvalued and Gold is way undervalued at the moment... aren't you in fact bolstering that argument??
