I was reading an article in the New Yorker today.

About the value of Gold over a twenty year period. from 1980  to 2000

I think while the dow went from 800 to 10,000,  gold went from  $820/oz to about $160

That must be hard to beat ?

Subject: [sharechat] Worsts investments of past decade - best in next?

         Some holiday fun, lets see if we can find the

worst/best investments of the last decade (not stock specific

ie aql dosent count lol). Also what are likely to be the

best and worst of next decade.

               I will start the ball rolling with telephone cards.

 Remember them?  anyone going to an auction around 6 or

7 years ago would of seen these changing hands for hundreds

of dollars , that didnt last long though.

   Wine would have to of been one of the better investments.

            As for the future how about olive plantations to be

good  and tree planting schemes bad

 

  ps what happened to ostrich farming?
