20 % a year or actually 18 % a year to be more accurate, has been the average return over the last ten years. There have been years with 35 % gains as well as years with single digit gains.... so this is just an average.
I am still predicting a 15-16 year bull with an average return of 25 % or more. This is because I still anticipate a parabolic phase coming up. These manipulators have thought this our very well from their think tanks at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.... but you can not stop the tide or tidal wave. Even if they think they are gods.... they will be humbled by a sudden change of sentiment. They can shape but not stop this bull...... and when the bull runs.... he will overpower their best laid plans. This is where returns will be extremely high and the natural bull cycle where greed turns to fear and then complete terror unfolds. This upcoming event will unfold as early as March; however will certainly occur in the next 24 months.
When the bull peaks…. 25 % of investment dollars will be in gold/mining shares. This is the time to sell your gold and buy real estate that will be on the market for pennies on the dollar. No time table for this one though…… your guess is as good as mine.
