You're way overestimating my abilities here, I should thank you for the compliment of assuming that I actually intended to confuse the dates there. OK, I'll admit that the Nov. 10 number had nothing to do with my trying anything, I was totally oblivious to the fact the link went back to Nov. 09 when gold closed at $1,126.
OK, you say gold is a store of wealth because since Nov. 09 gold had an anuallized 21% rate of return --the math may be hard to follow if you're taking Friday's $1,427 and saying it's $400 more than $1,126, but bear with me.
While that may be a 21% annualized rate of return, we get a -81% annualized rate if we look at how gold's fallen since last Wednesday. Store of wealth --hey, are you still there?
