Which market, and which 50 years? Looking at a global inflation map, one would have fared better with gold in a surprisingly large number of countries. I will concede that the US has had a great past 50 years - but I do not believe in infinite growth from finite resources, on the other hand I'm not going to hazard a guess as to when the growth will slow down. > After 50 years it's still just a bar of gold.
