Looks like it took 5 years for gold to go from about $270 to about $595 on Friday. That's a little more than 17% return annually. Decent, but not unheard of.
Your vehemence and hatred of gold is so extreme that you have in effect made it your god
We don't hate gold, we just laugh at people who day trade gold (2.5%-4.5% spread) and pay a ridiculous commission (1%-2%) and 9.9% margin rate for the privilege. Did I mention the storage fees you pay?
a rapidly appreciating form of (honest) money.
LOL!
