yes, I forgot about taxes

the ‘gain’ on the 10 year investment is $350 as far as the IRS is concerned so the investor now owes capital gains taxes for his investing acumen

let’s see, lose 1.5% per year and owe capital gains taxes on $350

does compounding over 10 years bring us back to even in real terms?

so if I invest in a $1000 bond that pays 3.5% and I hold that bond for 10 years in an environment where monetary debasement (inflation for you plebes) is 5% per year, how much am I ahead at the end of those 10 years?

Google “certificate of guaranteed confiscation” for more info

notice that most of what you are referring to is people SELLING their gold

aren’t most financial bubbles about people BUYING an asset class?

and, if you investigate the outfits buying the gold and what they are up to, you will find that the sellers are receiving about 60% of what their gold is actually worth

if anything, perhaps it is another stupidity bubble – people being duped to sell the only real store of value they own at a ridiculous discount right before the item they are selling increases in price by several hundred percent

but that’s just my opinion …
