Metals are maybe something I don't talk about enough. here is the performance of Copper, Gold, Silver, & Platinum. It's noteworthy that despite Gold's huge rally lately it's only up around 3% over the last year. Meanwhile Silver has staged an impressive 25% rally. Copper was really in the dog house until the US Elections. After that it was off to the races as the metal literally soared straight up. Meanwhile the S&P 500 Total Return Index has rewarded investors with a 24.29% gain. Let's look at some charts.

Here is the 2 year chart. The performance for all metals starts to group closer together. As a basket all have been mediocre investments when compared to the S&P 500 Total Return Index the last two years which is up 17.54%.
