My cat, who is in chronic renal failure (and has been for about 6 years) loves Fancy Feast, and when his appetite zig zags, as it tends to do on occasion, it's the only thing I can reliably get him to eat. The two vets that we've had over the last 6 years have both said that Fancy Feast is actually one of the better…

The Forbes article cites a recent JP Morgan study showing the comparitive returns of different assets. over the long term (between 1993 and 2012).
