==Extreme level of debt? Sounds scary!...All this gloom with no facts to back you up.
"In addition, as I already mentioned, disposable personal income has not kept pace with the interest we have to pay on our massive debts."
=Source?
==Unless you're comparing that to gold (0.0% yield), I'd say your assertion (lie?) was off just a bit.
They are not even close to being equally weighted. BTW, 2.1% beats the SP500 average yield. There are a number of other gold stocks that beat this average. So when you combine gold stock appreciation with yield, gold blows away the major indices. Any questions?
Wow! The household sector financial balance (whatever that means) has turned negative. Debt to income ratio (ignoring assets) continues to rise. And yet since 1996, our financial obligations ratio rose maybe 0.8%. Horrors!
They are not even close to being equally weighted.
Perhaps you'd share?
BTW, 2.1% beats the SP500 average yield.
BTW, that was only one of the 15 stocks. 8 of the other stocks had a yield of 0.0%, which does not beat the S&P 500. If you'd like, I could get you a list of S&P 500 stocks that have a higher yield than 2.1%.
There are a number of other gold stocks that beat this average.
I'm sure you're probably correct, but your claim was they (HUI was the example you used) were "paying better dividends than most other investments for the last five years". Not one stock (or a number) paid more than the S&P.
So when you combine gold stock appreciation with yield, gold blows away the major indices.
No. Stop lying about yield.
Any questions?
Why do you keep lying? If you want to say that gold stock appreciation beat that of the major indices, then say that, just don't make up stuff about dividends.
