prior to 2005 gold prices did not keep up with inflation
And since 2005....
Facts do get in the way don't they.
I posted the last 5 years results on VIPSX, not TIPS. I get a laugh out of those who don't see the downside risk in current gold prices and want to tell others about investing.
Ironic isn't it? You don't even realize what type of fund you are suggesting or what it's invested in let alone the risks. I guess that's what happens when "investors" like yourself use articles you don't understand.
Starting to see why so many others have you on ignore.
BTW Your TIPS fund (VIPSX) has returned a whopping 7.5% over the last ten years.
Gold has increased 300+% over the last ten years.
Inflation has averaged roughly 3% per year over the last ten years.
I'd say Gold has had inflation beat a wee bit longer than 2005.
