$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')owever, over the past five years, Outstanding Investments is up a remarkable 30.32% annualized, vs. 7.71% for the total-return DJ Wilshire 5000. That's a record that you have to respect.
There was a time when I could rely on Outstanding Investments for a resounding apocalyptical quote. How about this, from two years ago: "... For every SIX barrels of oil currently consumed, only one new barrel is discovered. And that number is getting worse there were only 13 major oil finds (over 500 million barrels in reserves) in 2000, six in 2001 and two in 2002. There hasn't been any major oil discovery since then! And when the reality of higher prices hits with full force and I think it's coming very, very soon no one is going to find it more difficult to swallow than the spoiled, overconsuming United States. The crisis is truly devastating in scope and could end life as we know it in the United States." See Feb. 14, 2005 column
