<p>Jamaica’s stock exchange has been the best in the
world for the last seven years.&nbsp; The
truth is stocks have always been one of the best forms of investments. If you
purchased NCB in the 80s you’d have paid a mere $1.00 for each share. Today
(August 15, 2019) the stock closed at $211.36.&nbsp;
Put another way: if you spent $10,000 to purchase 10,000units when the
stock was first listed that 10,000 units would today be worth $2,113,600.00.
That’s an increase of 21036%!</p>
