    mathematically if you can hit 10 percent earnings on something each year would you just do that.


    or would you pursue something else.

    Is that the earning per year on Silver? If so it won't hit 100 in 5 years at the current price of 20. Try some new math next time.


    and yes why wouldn't anyone do 10 % guaranteed earnings a year. I know I'd throw all my money into something that is guaranteed 10%. Just as long As I could take out some if needed. Otherwise I'd just throw as much as I could afford to in there.


    Say you're 20 years old. Throw 10K into an account, let it sit for 40 years @ 10% and by the time your 60 you'll have 500K. That should be a nice little savings to have, to go along with retirement, social security, and whatever other saving you have throughout those 40 years.

        Oh...So Silver is guaranteed to hit 100 in 5 years or less. All because of simple mathematics, which you still haven't explained.


        And now you know a guarantee of 10% on stocks for each year?

        Man, just imagine all the millionaires there would be if they had the info that you have.

          !0 Percent is not alot of earnings per year I have doubled what I earned by betting sports.Now if you are talking about beating the S&P bench for 10% year over year then a bank needs to be paying you $200,000 a year.

            if you can hit 10% a year, EVERY YEAR, investing in stocks GUARANTEED, then you're doing a lot better than some hedge funds. problem is you never know when the market's going to crash, whether it's the internet bubble, or lehman's or whatever.

              The problem with your thinking here is that in 40 years, $500k probably won't be anything more than a nice car. 10% is great if you have a very large bankroll and are very risk averse. However, you can do much better than that if you put your money to work in the sports markets. Good gamblers should be able to double their roll every year.

                You are not going to make 10% earnings in stocks EVERY year.
                Why you , and not every other investor. Will not happen.

                  Thats what I'm saying. This guy thinks he has ALL the knowledge about making money, when the fact is, he doesn't have the slightest clue.

                    At some point you start to question your own sanity for constantly answering stupid questions and thoughts.
