PS...I can't imagine ANYTHING that could induce me to buy another Mutual Fund of ANY kind....I feel bad enough when I loose my OWN money, when I'm PAYING somebody ELSE to loose it...I get down right ANGRY !!! On the OTHER HAND...I have three different Nuveen funds now that have returns of 15/25/36% returns on them just in the last 12 months...they might be around a little LONGER !!! :^) ============================================================== catman, Calm down for a minute. you're liable to blow a blood vessel! That's better....now read this learn something.
Had you the foresight to put some money in John Hathaway's Tocqueville Gold Fund (TGLDX) you'd be up 77% in the past 12 months. Their three year return is 54% with their 5 year @ 28%. http://www.tocquevillefunds.com/gold/snapshot.shtml
For a guy knowledgeable enough to be so invested in "gold and platinum and silver and diamonds and copper and and and....on and on!" , I'm surprised that you would be satisfied with such inferior returns as those that Nuveen has given you.
Like you so aptly said, "I hate being so smart that I do STUPID THINGS!!!!!
Btw, you can cool it with the CAPS...... no one is deaf around here!
