Overnight Gold

Post by Gumby »

Fascinating... An overnight gold fund has been skyrocketing — with a 43% annualized return. It's a huge difference when compared with buy & hold gold.

And intraday gold has actually been going down since 2001.

Read the article for a perspective on the phenomenon:

I suppose it is just a net flow from west to east. People in the west are getting poorer and selling stuff and people in the east are getting richer and buying stuff.

Perhaps someone should start an Overnight Permanent Portfolio Fund :)

It's not an actual fund one can invest in. Just a theoretical fund, right? 

I wonder what this chart would look like for silver and platinum.
