Had you invested that $10K in silver at that same time that $10K would now be worth $82K for a far $72K profit.

Maybe silver is the real investment.

My friend invest in gold 250k in 2002 the price was about $300-$350
Now $1850 more in 6 times Who wanna be millionaire ? 250x6 = $1.5 million He sell little yesterday and people buying smal bars, because in the bank telling we cannot sell now ;)

More likely you're a liar that's not too good at math and you got caught.

No, I remembered that I had 10k and not 100k.

The $700 a month was actually $70 a month I took out and I remembered paying
my rent without working and I thought it was from that, but I now remember that
the rent money which was actually $850 a month and not $600 was coming for a TV commercial I worked in. My rent went down to $600 after the commercial money
ran out and my landlord gave me a break because I had lived there a while and
people were losing jobs and moving out.
I had to think about it to remember the facts correctly.

So fuck off.

It was 30 years ago.

I just typed what was in my mind at the moment as how I remembered it.

I'd still take stocks over gold any day.

How is that deceptive, it looks to me like comparison of $1000 invested in 1980 in gold vs $1000 invested in dow?
Price of gold doubled in that timeframe, while dow went up 10x+...

Ok, I was wrong again. I now remember that the commercial money had stopped
a year or two before that.

I was actually "working". I was in an off Broadway play that failed and then
my rent went down to $600.

That part, I didn't even want to ever remember.

I then went on unemployment for the first time.

Now that's correct.

Thanks for reminding me.....not.

Apple vs Gold not even close
And this only shows back to 1999, I think the low was sometime in 1997 for Apple.

Lets see 500% vs 3700%...
