I do have some physical gold in a lock box.

Mostly Krugerrands and Maple Leafs bought back when Carter was president.

I'm still waiting for my rate of return on those to go positive.......

Demonstrating the riskiness of buying in one bunch. You didn’t pick the wrong investment, you picked the wrong timing.

If you had bought an equal dollar amount every year since then, you’d be impressively ahead.

I thought gold peaked at $850 during the Carter years, and at today's $1000, you should be positive.
