I started buying gold and silver 8 years ago; it’s worth one hell of a lot more now than any other investment I have.
Attempting to find congruence between the recent losses in gold valuation against the relative value of the dollar is absurd.
I applaud you for purchasing those commodities at a low price. I've never said not to hold gold and silver. In fact, I believe everyone should put 10% of their assets into precious metals as a hedge against the current deflationary economy. If the economy turns inflationary then those holding will do quite well. Not so much over the long term in a deflationary environment.
Keep riding the price down if you want to. They are your assets to manage.
