Re: Alternatives to US stocks?
I found the following statistics while doing a search on the internet a few days ago. Obviously the timeframe was many years ago, but you can see that for extended period of times, there can be many things better to invest in than the stock market. Remember, be as divirsified as you possibly can.
Performance of Various Investments from 1968 to 1979 (In Compound Annual Gains) 19.4% Gold 18.9% Stamps 15.7% Rare books 13.7% Silver 12.7% Coins (U.S. non-gold) 12.5% Old masters' paintings 11.8% Diamonds 11.3% Farmland 9.6% Single-family homes 6.5% Inflation (CPI) 6.4% Foreign currencies 5.8% High-grade corporate bonds 3.1% Stocks |
