As for S&P500, sure, but past performance is not a guarentee of future performance. It's not liek you knew 17 years ago that it would outperform gold. |
yea there will still be law and order even if there isn't electricity. communities require rules and discipline. there have been orderly communities for tens of thousands of years, long before money was invented. criminals get hung, eaten, or kicked out.
