What were the starting values?
Looks like a buying opportunity to me. LOL.
Metal | Bid | Ask | Change |
---|---|---|---|
Gold | $1,477.10 | $1,479.10 | ($88.80) |
Silver | $25.78 | $25.88 | ($1.94) |
Platinum | $1,474.50 | $1,484.50 | ($52.30) |
Palladium | $705.90 | $710.90 | ($23.40) |
Here is the two year chart for Silver, which is what I follow most closely. In that period, I believe the high for gold has been in the $1700s per oz. Platinum is generally a little higher than gold, but occasionally below gold if I remember correctly. Well, I have tried twice to transfer the chart from Market Watch, but no luck. Around 20 months ago silver hit a high around $42, then it dropped and mostly hovered between $34 and $32. This is a noticeable drop. Cause? The Xmas Valentines Day season is over. No jewelry until Mothers day. Less silver for photography and industrial purposes, especially given Sequester fears. Any other guesses??
