Gold: vs. S&P 500 Who's the Historic Winner? April 14, 2020 Following the stock market for the last month has been almost as nerve wrecking as being on a roller coaster. Investors are left scratching their heads on what a safe investment would be at this point. Let’s look at the last twenty years to see how gold has performed compared to the S&P 500 and other stock market indices and avoid an “I told you so” from American journalist Sydney J. Harris: The Last Twenty Years Did you know that the U.S dollar has lost 35% of its purchasing power in the last 20 years? On the other hand, gold quadrupled its value in the same timeframe! Here is more food for thought. Had you invested $10,000 in the S&P 500, Nasdaq and the Dow Jones in the year 2000, today you would have $23,500, $24,300 and $26,800 respectively. During the same time, had you put $10,000 in gold, you would have over $50,000 today! Sure, you wouldn’t have put all your eggs in one basket.
