    Just like a bond... good investment strategy for long term, like you said. But what will that 7% be worth against the hard value of currency in 10 years is a question everyone should ask themselves before making an investment of this nature.

    I do better than Brokers. If people learn how to invest they will do better than brokers. Brokers are Sales People. They don't care about your money, only taking comissions. Most money manager cannot maintain consistent returns annually.

    I'm not so sure that QE3 is coming this summer, it will take months before the full effect of QE2 is felt.
