“Does Mr. B really have a total post count going somewhere”
Yes. He popped into the OT last Friday, I think, when you were AWOL and I had to send the St. Bernards out looking for you on the tundra, to see that we’re approaching the 400,000th post. I believe he clarified that it’s all of Brownstoner, not just the OT. And no one calls you pathetic behind your back, only to your face.
400,000
DIBS,
and yes I know you can buy stocks that invest in gold and will rise proportionally with gold, but my question is referring specifically to silver’s potential for gains.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
that’s it! – more butter and beet sugar, what’s that?
ET…from 1/01/99 to 12/31/09, the S&P 500 (the overall market) is down 9%.
Why would that matter. You can buy gold by the pound too…you just have to have a hell of a lot more money.
This is akin to saying a stock is cheap because it’s $5 and not $20. Somebody following that rule shouldn’t be investing in the stock market.

dibs,
come on now, you know not everyone has $16,000 lying around to buy a pound of gold.
While many folks would have $400 bucks to place a bet on a pound.
don’t make me drag brownstones half off in here!
Texpert, what is your asset allocation? How are you split between bonds/stock/money market funds? Where are you investing in (fortune 500, emerging markets, real estate)And what is your risk appetite? Are you willing to take more risk for a higher reward or are you more risk adverse?
Ok, I hate to admit to being ignorant of anything bordering on pathetic, but to what is the 400,000th post referring? This must have happened while I was away. Does Mr. B really have a total post count going somewhere or is this a figment of all y’alls imagination?
