As of today:

The HUI index of gold stocks is UP more than 1,150% from 2000.

The S&P is DOWN more than 26%. Before inflation.

How much time and money do you have to lose before you look at the numbers instead of listening to CNBC and their ilk. They are paid to sell the stock market even when it is dangerous or worthless. That's how they make their money. Bob Pissonme has often said, "We hate gold." Literally. That's because, like governments, it takes away their influence and wealth. In the government's case by revealing the devaluing they've created by printing trillions out of thin air. In CNBC's case by keeping track, for the wole world to see, that they have destroyed countless financial lives by selling their souls for paychecks.
