Gwd you guys are still taking in this fiction.
Took a close look at the daily, if this trade was +/- 4-days from the lowest point in Feb 09 to the highest as it was in Dec 10, he'd would have 28% rather than 42%. So a hearty congratulations for timing the market. I suck at that. But then he stated selling began in Sep at 18% gain, so how could the overall fund achieve 42%?
Defo smelling something with a high methine content.Last edited by scooterscot; 17 September 2020, 21:33."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

There are lots of possible "paths to victory" (42%) for me within the maximum of 52% - costs.
And once again, you've screwed up - where is you 18% from?
09/02/09 - 599 Gold Prices - British Pounds (GBP) - February 2009
30/09/10 - 832 Gold Prices - British Pounds (GBP) - September 2010
Maximum possible gain - 39%. I know I ripped you a new arsehole but no need to keep pulling numbers out of it.
And as for timing the market - not particularly. I would have done better if I had bought earlier and sold later.
But a 42% profit on an asset in a little under 2 years represents a good investment.Comment

It's foretold in the charts that gold is going to crash to $600, so all you need to do is buy a massive put and you'll be rolling in it.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

Absolutely - the stock market was the place to be during his dates. He would have made almost 90% during those same dates. Gold is an awful investment. Effectively he lost half his money by staying in the metal rather than stocks.
The February 09 date is amazing - he timed the market at the exact bottom. I've never known anyone to do that.
