Seems as though your prediction has been well and truly "exceeded" with gold now down below $1200 an ounce. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23093548

Gold now at $1,309 that is 79% of the price in Dec 12, last time at this price was Dec 2010

Silver now at $21.74 that is 87% of the price in Dec 12, last time at this price was Sep 2010

So for both it is still a real good time to buy as long as you believe the price will recover, bit of a difficult time for those who invested in late 2010.

Problem is the US$ is getting stronger every day so what is the future for gold and silver?

With all the chaos in the world right now, Brexit, US elections, Oz Elections, war, bombings etc. the price of Gold and Silver has gone back up to levels not seen since 2012

Gold now at GBP32,640/kg
Silver now at GBP495.00/kg

Good time to sell without becoming too greedy, made myself a nice few quid this morning.

If we took your advice and bought at 1300 three years ago then we would have seen it drop like a stone for 2.5 years

Would people have hung on, probably not so they would have lost pension money.

Now we can all brag about making money.

If we hung on for 3 years then we would be sitting on a gain of 3% (before dealing charges).

1% a year for all that heart ache.

But then what do I know.

Do not invest your hard earned money in single currencies, shares or commodities, its too risky.

But if you'd bought earlier this year at 18,000 baht, you could sell today for 22,000 baht. Not a bad return for a few months!
