It only needs to go up to about $50 to get the last group of speculators back to even.

Most metals sit and do nothing for long periods of time, then spike....and leave many empty handed when the price drops fast.

Frequently long term they don't even keep up with simple indexed funds.

If you cash out on the peak, which very few people manage to do, you end up with dollars.

I've been told these dollars are worthless, so what is the metal worth?
