Incidentally a 7% monthly rate compounded over the year implies a 225% annualized inflation rate, which is the gain you'd have to have in your salary to keep pace with this crap.)"

Just so my simple mind understands- You are saying that if I had put $1000 USD in the S and P 500 on March 9, 2009 and cashed out yesterday, I would have lost money. Is that right?

you aren't factoring in the magical 225% annual inflation visible to those in the know, moron.

On a day when gold hit 1350, you'd think you'd have enough sense to just keep your mouth shut.

More like 50%. Keep poo pooing gang. You see where this fun race to the bottom leads.

The thing about the market/commodities/etc. is that you don't have s.hit if you don't sell it. Whoopity f.ucking doo if the numbers are up and you're still sitting like a pompous cartoon bullfrog with a tophat and cigarette.

Sometimes not losing money is all you should be concerned with. And with ETFs you can sell it anytime you want....Took my tophat to the gas station today to see that gas is up nearly 20 cents in 10 days. This while the economy sputters. Nothing pompous about that.

Im not trying to down you Randle. I just want to understand thats all. You implied that I was an idiot because I suggested that Smooth Operator had shown a profit over the last 18 months. I am very open to the possiblity that I could be mistaken.

Maybe I am misunderstanding. Please clarify. If I had put $1000 USD into the S and P 500 on March 9, 2009 and cashed out today, would I have made money or lost money?

LOL, did you also cell Cisco in the 80's in 2000 also? Since you don't understand how inflation works it is all just numbers to you. So yeah, you are rich now. In fact we all are. Goodnight.
