"Gone. Like waterbeds, bell-bottoms, the eight-track, CB radios...a fad, hyped by hypsters bent in going public and leaving town." Yes, as an investment, it is largely gone.

<Mankind will collect and store more bits of data in the next three years that it has in the previous 333,000 years, the entirety of human records. Double. I wonder what we'll do with that. I guess not turn it into gold. I data has lost its appeal, too? > William, the problem with this post is that it concentrates just on fundamentals. and ignores the horrible volality of the stock market. most of us cannot afford to invest in a pipe dream somewhere over the rainbow that has cost some of us 95-98% of our liquid assets just in the last year alone. thankfully i am not one of those. but without putting such blanket statements, that you've consistently put forth throughout this horrible bear market, within some kind of context of asset allocation, i still believe it is irresponsible. rob
