FYI: Precious-metals mutual funds are coming down fast, but they're still miles above the S&P 500 in 15-year performance
A $10,000 investment in the average precious metals fund on Sept. 30, 1999, would have grown to $29,747 by Oct. 31 this year, according to Morningstar Inc. data. The same investment in the S&P 500, a proxy for the broad stock market, would have increased to $20,914
