@spiritwarrior7 Investing is about fashion as much as it is about numbers. Gold went out of fashion, even though the numbers are OK. Sure there are "investments" that may potentially return more AND are more fashionable e.g. Bitcoin (and Tulip bulbs, once upon a time) however they come with...

@vancouverguy No, not at all, I bought most of it when it was quite low, but recent silver movements coupled with USD appreciation turbocharged it. If I was to annualize it over 3 years my return would be a lot lower. I think its still a higher return than gold, but silver is coming from a...
