Regarding the chart:

A $10,000 investment: your returns with gold and stocks

Had you invested $10,000 in gold bullion in 1999, your initial investment would have grown to $22,205 by 06/30/06 – a 122% percent increase.

That same $10,000 investment in stocks of the S & P index would have netted $10,162. That’s a 1.162% increase.

Again, that statement is <u>factually incorrect</u>. You are forgetting to include dividends in your calculations of stock returns.
