Gold is now 1,600, dropping from 1,900 it reached in September 2011(-15%).
Silver is now 28, dropping from 48 it reached in April 2011 (-33%).
Are these two good investments, now that the hype is passed, and banks deposits no longer seem to be safe (see Cyprus). There are some people who recommend gold and silver (e.g. Mr. Sprott) but of course there are other people who say exactly the opposite, and of course Mr. Sprott might as well have bought a lot of gold and silver in September and April 2011, and he is trying to talk them up, so he can cut his losses.
