[QUOTE="Benben, post: 1101113, member: 25133"] [b]Re: UPS/Teamster 401k...Prudential to a Dreyfus self managed account...+22.86% for 20[/b] "Remember how many people where sitting on huge gains over the last 20 years only to have them wiped out in a flash...crash. Trees don't grow to the sky and stocks that go up go down too." I'll stick with divi's. 10% yielders doubles my money in 10 years. at that point I am, "playing with the house's money." You on the other hand live or die by what the market does. How's that Gold investment been doing for you in the past year and a half?
