Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: For some perspective on the long-term performance of the stock market, today's chart presents the Dow priced in another global currency -- gold. Today's chart illustrates how it currently takes 14.3 ounces of gold to 'buy the Dow' (i.e. the Dow / gold ratio) -- well off the 44.8 ounces it took back at its peak in 1999.
