That&#039;s the updated stat I&#039;d like to know, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>fwiw, since 11/07 POG has abit more than doubled but GLD is 5-fold greater. I used Nov 07 as a baseline (rather than Nov 04); &#039;from inception&#039; isn&#039;t meaningful whereas by late 2007 this fund was very well-known. </p><p><br /></p><p>For GLD, the biggest reallocation appears from Thanksgiving 2008 through 2Q 2010, with other sharp upspikes in Summer 2011 and Summer 2012. Whether that&#039;s more institutional money or retail I don&#039;t know. Regards.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]216033.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
