Maybe the best advice for these times we live in, is to be “Stackin’ & Packin'”.
Looking at 2000, it is amazing the Dow was worth nearly 40 ounces of gold (as I recall, I could be wrong) now it has fallen to an almost reasonable level. If it were to go to the heights of the past decade, we’d be looking at a Dow 56,000. Here I was anticipating a Dow 6000 so I could buy right around 2015. What the fuck did I know they’d artificially pump it up?
