    I am actually happy too hear you got out in time with your money, many don't make it out in time to convert their paper profit into something tangible like you did.
    The issue I think alot of people have with this piece by the bare foot investor is the assumption that investing in shares is guarantied in the long term to make you money when compared to gold/silver with is a stagnant asset.
    It fails to mention that the reason the chance for high return is there is because the chance for total loss is higher. yes you may find a company that makes 9% interest P/a and pays dividend but you may also find a Dick smith that losses all your money. Or perhaps you may decide to invest in USD but then what if it goes the way of Zimbabwe?
    ultimately it is about risk appetite and most people are hear because they see financial security in gold/silver versus other potential investment options.
    Personally I am of the belief that investing in the share market is no different to going to a casino unless you have enough knowledge and financial power to impact/control the market and currently it teeters on the edge of collapse held up only by the constant government intervention its gets through striping of control over our financial assets (Super funds) by regulation that forces mostly to prop up the market without any direct control in how their super fund is used.

    Agree to an extent - especially the bit about assumptions. Should never assume anything. ;)
    However, you need to look at his target audience, who are looking for simple strategies - not even stock picking, but simple managed funds investment.

    Hey Baldrick!
    Shorts even better than when you asked last week. :)
    Stocks up? :rolleyes: ASX down another 1.5% today. :D
    I'll give you some dispensation today - I understand your confusion between up and down, given your intellectual challenges ;)
    Hey, how is your backwardation going?

    Obviously you cant read period and now upside down you cant read or understand - too much flow to the head ? "My confusion" you jest you are the Baldrick hahaha you are obviously confused as you have not read what I wrote nor understand it. Go follow the barefoot guy as he is now saying stocks are a buying opportunity. You never know mate you may be able to afford a second house on your metal shorts and your new stock purchases ? :D :D

    By the way I need none of your dispensation - too much vitriol

    That took you a while! No I will leave the excrement manufacture to you as you are so gifted in that area.
    If I was you I would be focused less on excrement manufacture and more on your short positions in metals and your stock portfolio as you may be about to lose your pants.

    If we are such idiots and you are the great sage why are you wrong :D

    I think its time to pack up your toys and go and SH$#T on someone other SS's post.
    It is simply what you do best.......

    After all this is my post and you don't want to get sent to the corner again do you ?

    We?
    There's no "we" in "you". ;)
    Better you own what you say, rather than attributing it to an imaginary collective. :D

    I've said it before - pointing out obvious flaws and mistruths in one's post, for the benefit of others, does not constitute SH$#TTING on ones post.
    It is not coincidence that your posts attract a lot of attention in regards to needing correction.
    I'm sure I'll be back. :)

    Now, did you ever manage to teach yourself the meaning of "inflation-adjusted returns"? Or has it escaped you again? :lol:
