the dividends at the rates you are imagining entails divorce from cap gains and track away from dj n s&p

try factoring in tracking mistakes, pay taxes, and tabulate judgement errors of investments, and

then think about gold

and should you wish for dividends, interests, and such, just trade gold, up or down

recommendation: getgold

>>>The price of gold was controlled for hundreds of years,<<<

Except at times of major discoveries of new sources of gold: California, Alaska, South Africa, the Spanish shipments from the Americas. In such times, the price of gold fell, although this was perceived as inflation in the prices of things paid for in gold.

The United States lost control of the price of gold in the Civil War, as measured in greenbacks.
