🏆 The "Lost Quarter-Century": Why Gold is Formally De-Throning the S&P 500
They told you to "buy the dip" in tech. They told you the S&P 500 was the only way to build real wealth. But the data for the 21st century just dropped a truth bomb, and it’s painted in 24-karat gold. 🚀
As of February 2026, the scoreboard isn't even close. While the U.S. Stock Market has put up a respectable fight, Gold hasn't just won—it has annihilated the competition. $TAKE
📊 The Brutal Math (2000–2026):
Gold (GC): Up a staggering +1,812.65%
S&P 500 ($SPX): Up +408.18%
Since the turn of the millennium, Gold has outperformed the "world's greatest stock market" by more than 4-to-1. Why the "Moonshot" is happening NOW:
Look at that vertical line on the right side of the chart. We aren't just seeing a steady climb; we are witnessing a monetary shift. With Gold blowing past $5,000/oz, the market is sending a clear signal:
Debt Fatigue: As the U.S. national debt spirals, big money is fleeing "paper promises" for hard assets. $RIVER
Central Bank Power Play: Global superpowers are dumping Treasuries and hoarding bullion at record rates.
Inflation Reality: Investors are realizing that while stocks grow, gold preserves. $BLESS
If you started the year 2000 with $10,000 in a Gold bar, you’re looking at nearly $191,000 today. That same $10,000 in the S&P 500? Roughly $50,000. The "Barbarous Relic" is looking more like the "Ultimate King." 👑
