I have never paid attention to gold or silver prices because I had no investment in either. The last time I had looked at gold it was $2400 but that might have been Canadian. I know the prices of scrap metal are way down in the last month but the price of wire and copper pipe is up so I don't know what the deal is. I guess I will just hang on and maybe buy a bit while it's low, if I find a bit of extra cash.
