30 days ago gold was $1588. As I type it is now $1605. Not too large a move. Now six months ago it was higher but Five years ago it was under $1000. Not too shabby. I was late and started buying at $400. Silver is even better. I was a buyer at $5.00. That is better then 'not too shabby'.
two months ago (late Jan) it was near $1680- i was off by 30 days...big effing deal...
