Where is a crystal ball when you need one?

10k.

Look at the gooddamn charts and links I posted.


:helpme

So maybe I'm tripping out, but doesn't 14.23% on 10k compounded monthly only yield a little over 1.5k a year? I was under the impression that all of the rent money came from interest on your savings.

Maybe I'm missing something.

So true, especially considering that I had been offered a job in the
World Trade Center but decided to move to LA instead.

I went broke in LA.

But I could still be in Manhattan now with the same savings account as the government
searchs for my surving relatives to give it to.

So my "fuck up" might have been my blessing to stay out of 911.

I'm getting old.

My memory is bad.

Yeah you are right.

Sorry.

Fuck my memory is bad.

94 was good, but I was telling everyone back in nov 08 to buy - it was hovering around 98-100 during the crisis and everyone was saying sell sell sell!
I made quite a lot of money in 6 months on very little investement during that crisis. The same crisis is happening now - buy solid banking stocks like SOCGEN (CAC40).... they are rock bottom but for sure will go up as it is the major govt-backed bank.....

Yeah you couldn't remember if you had 10K or 100K.

More likely you're a liar that's not too good at math and you got caught. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

So? If you had let that $10k sit in under your mattress it would still be $10K today. If you bought $10k worth of gold in 1980 it would only be worth $21K today. So an investment that only yeilded 4% would have been the better choice. Of course in the 80's you could get 5% on a savings account and 10% on a 1 year CD.

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 ;)
price up and who How we live in future ....
COOL :D

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.

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%...
