    haha. Yeah when you're paying ~$300 for gold and selling for ~$1600 ... makes the 9.1% offered by Australian Shares look a bit silly.

    What a bull$hit article designed to mis-inform people about the reality of the share market disaster. Pull my middle leg. So the share market has out performed the property market has it :rolleyes:

    So please explain the ASX peaked at 6829 on the in November 2007. Yesterdays close it stood at 4882.7 after a 20% increase late last year. Which is down -28.5% from the all time high. Factor in inflation and what a little ripper...not

    The property mean in Melbourne in 2007 was $472,000. In the December quarter 2012 it stood at $540,000 an increase of 14.4% factor in inflation and property is just treading water in Australia where the world depression has had the least pain. The most recent quarter property values in Melbourne increased .7%

    Kind Regards

    I'd say it is a contrarian indicator. We're nearing the top for shares.

    Just remember, when they are coming out with stories like this about Gold what it probably means for Gold. ;)
