Gold, Not so Golden in 2008

Well, I have certainly been "disappointed" with the yellow metal in 2008. I have loved the returns on AIG, Bear Stearns, Lehman Bros., WAMU, Citigroup, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Wachovia, and legions more of those fine "blue chips." Yesirree Bob, give me more of disappointing returns. Remember what the immortal Mark Twain said, "it isn't the return on my money, it's the return of my money...." The writer of this nonsensical article ought to take a position on the TARP board to feel at home.
