Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Precious metals mutual funds have given up most of their edge over the S&P 500 since their performance peak at the end of 2010. Since Sept. 30, 1999, a $10,000 investment in the average precious metals fund would have grown to $26,076 vs. $20,374 for the widely watched stock market index, according to Morningstar data Regards, Ted http://license.icopyright.net/user/viewFreeUse.act?fuid=MTg1MzUyNDQ=
