Well no, the market is the only place to beat inflation, and it helps if your stock pays dividends.

you can also beat inflation by getting physical...

park your buying power... in gold

just curious

2009-silver 12$ oz 2012- silver 31$ an oz

2009- I spent about 50$ a week on groceries 2012-130

so lets say 150% increase (imho it’s more)

stock market 9000 in 2009 9000+ 150% =22,500.... so maybe gold is better

Yes, and isn’t there something about the commodity market where they wish to regulate speculators more? Probably applies more to the oil futures trading now, but will it eventually effect other commodities as in gold? (with the acknowledgement you are talking owning physical gold, but many may only own paper futures)
