THEY won't give an inch, even when (as in the case of oil and inflation) they are so clearly wrong. << Here is a list of he top performing mutual funds for the past 5 years. It looks like many of them are precious metal funds. I think Bob Brinker has egg all over his face on this one. He has been telling people to avoid gold for at least five years and he has been dead wrong.>> --Right. I will give YOU that one. However, how did Bob do on gold for the prior 15 years? I think Bob's position on gold is that it is a speculative thing, not really a good long-term investment. I don't think it HAS been a good long-term investment. He has said for some time that if you want to put a little in your portfolio as a hedge against disaster, he has no problem with that.
