    One wonders what the glossary term would be for someone who's down 10%-30% YTD suggesting that another investor doesn't know what they're doing despite the other investor being in positive territory YTD.


    I would be more interested if you excluded all new money

    This year gold, silver and cash are all up a bit in GBP terms
    Almost everything else is down.


    Gold is up +12.33% YTD

    Silver is up +5.26% YTD
    Your holdings…






  • Yeah but he bought more gold and silver.

    As you were then.  

    Weak £ definitely helping us Brits out, that’s for sure.

    If only it were. Many seem to be 10%-30% down, despite historic lows in the GBP. That takes some doing.

    Doesn’t the difference in the ETC’s (USD vs GBP) above prove exactly that it IS?

    I might be missing something but someone in Estes in SGLN would be invested in SGLN. 
    I
    It doesn't matter where they live or their home currency. The ETF dictates things. 

    SGLN will always be in $
