    A couple months ago I was chatting with someone.
    I did a spreadsheet for if I bought $20k in Gold vs just keeping $20k cash for the past 10 years.

    For the $20k cash it included a $1k small C rated safe, so $19k in cash.
    For the Gold it included approx premium for buying and selling plus annual SDB storage costs.

    10 years ago, March 2012 gold was at a high of $1780 (or 11.24 oz). Oops .. arbitrary month/year.

    But anyways after 10 years the cash was worth more after the bullion acquisition/liquidation costs by $800 and that was before selling the safe for an add'l $500.

    Of course, it totally depends upon your buy/sell dates but for that example it was opposite what I was thinking. lol

    polish up that crystal ball


    of course I recall buying some gold in 1980 for about $800/oz
    and again in 1985ish for about $350/oz if my memory serves me right.

    Yep. Back in 2012, after gold started receding from its 2011 highs, I bought a burnished MS70 AGE at spot, on a "dip" to $1700. That "dip" lasted seven or eight years, and at its eventual bottom was something like $1100.

    It had run up alot after the U.S./European debt crisis so it seemed logical that the price would drop bigtime once the crisis was over.

    Could be coming back ! :eek:

    That's not good Jeff.. I kind of a see what's you all mean now 7 or 8 years no movement is quite a while then it only comes close to 2,000. not much upside. MS 70 Burnished AGE still nice purchase.

    When gold moves up, it will move quick. A few hundred bucks in a week.
