Back in 2001 Gold bottomed at around $250/oz. It ran to a high around 2012-13 era over $1800. Then it bottomed out in 2016 at ($1,060 to $1944 today 83%). In fact, I posted here that it can’t get any lower and up it went.

I have a chart of GLD with an overlay of SLV on the latest bottomĀ ($14-$23 today 64%) of 1/1/16, and they are both up around 50%. But in reality, we can’t buy silver at spot. In that case Silve may have done better than gold since 1/1/16. BTW, Junk Silver coins are ($32/oz from $14 is 128%)
