In this current profile, WebPennys.com profiles Gold Bullion vs. the DOW Jones
Industrial Avg. ... as you can see from the charts below, Gold bullion has outperformed the DOW
significantly over the past several years,
however, when measured over the shorter term, like over a 5 day, or 3 month
period, it's much harder to see Gold's bull market, this is because Gold is in a very slow motion bull market.
5 years ago on Sept 23/05 the DOW closed at 10,419.59 ... on Sept 23/10 the DOW
closed at 10,662.42; producing a 5 year gain of just
2.3% ... while during the same 5 year period; the rate of return from
holding Gold bullion is approx. 179%.
If you don't own any Gold yet, and you buy some Gold soon, don't expect to
quickly make a bunch of money off your Gold investment (Gold doesn't work that way)
- instead just buy a little bit of Gold every month from your pay-cheque and then
just store your Gold away as a long-term
insurance-investment.
There are literally dozens of reasons why Gold Bullion has
outperformed the DOW over the past several years, so many reasons in fact; that
you could literally write a multi-volume book about it... so instead of going into the
dozens of details why Gold has outperformed the DOW (we'll leave the reasons to other people who have more time to devote to the
subject) we'll just provide you with the charts that show the bigger picture
visually... GOLD is the GREEN line, and
the DOW is the DARK BLUE line in the charts
