If anybody had taken their advice at the time, they would be up 45 pounds an ounce.
I think that sabretoothtigger should be banned at once for this trolling bounce.
Shut the thread down immediately, before the bovine scatology gets out of hand, and the usual suspects flame the thread.

Of course, had the same person invested into, for example, Neptune's Russia & Greater Russia fund on 06/04/2009, they'd be looking at gains in excess of 50% just over that period. Compared with equities, gold has done very badly over the last 6 months.

Any equity fund failing to return about 20% or more over the last 6 months was seriously unlucky.

Just demonstrating that even in a good time for gold, it's still certainly not been the be all and end all of investments. Not by a long shot.

Tell that to the gold holders, and they will be seriously ticked off.
Bonkers the lot of 'em
