Back in 2000 I was in Aus with the present Mrs MF. We visited a gold mine where you could buy gold bars. I decided to buy one for £2000. She went mental. 'WTF are you going to do with that, stick it under the bed! You're an idiot'Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostSo it's increased from about £4000 per kilo in around 2000 to £28,000 per kilo today, a factor of 7.
We didn't buy it.
I never let her forget it. She doesn't question investment issues anymore.

Has reached a new high against GBP today, again. Nothing new to see here, move along please. There could be a culling if and when this does crash.
£28,000 today, £21,000 a year ago.
And over twenty years...
