gold, page-45790

Note golds rise following the GFC?  Could you please explain that in more detail, it looks like a spike in the bigger picture.  Gold was rising well before GFC.

I want gold to do well, I like gold.  It's just the arguments why it should seem a little weak.  I base my hope for it to do well more on it being too close to costs of production plus the speculative nature of it.  I certainly wouldn't hold it indefinitely.
