Past is past. What do you do now? Still buy gold?
You have to look at the USD. Presently around 82 and 83. What I see it will continue to go sideways. If it breaks below 80 look out. All these fund managers will hit the panic button at the same time to try to get out. Now the title of the post is young investors...Sure if you are maybe 5 of 6 years old and are looking for a secure retirement go ahead and invest. If you are not comfortable with putting your money into a hard asset (Gold) then remember cash is always king.
