The person who takes a medicine, must recover twice. Once from the disease & once from the medicine – Dr. William Osler (MD).
An investor who saves ‘only’ in a ‘fixed return’ option must recover twice. Once from the ‘Purchasing Power’ & once from the ‘Taxes Paid’ on the returns ?.
Well, a patient can recover from a medicine & a disease, but, a fixed return investor can never recover from either getting his purchasing power back or taxes paid ?
