Our friends at Visual Capitalist published this last week. I like their presentation.

Quite a contrast for commodities between the years 2008 and 2009 and again between the years 2015 and 2016/2017.

I love that chart. Everyone makes fun of Palladium but it seems to do really well.
The commodity is great , buying the coins and actually making money is something else entirely
Good point
Chart is a mess to read!
Neat chart.... Thanks for posting this... Cheers, RickO
So is there a chart that shows that if I started with $1000 in 2008 I'd have $x in 2017? What % changes in a year is great trivia, but there isn't a good way to show what is the overall best investment for the time period.

They were all bad.
Sometimes breaking out a calculator can show more than they are looking for. Have fun and compute the numbers yourself. Experiment with the patterns you see.
