back a few years I went to my bank...Royal at the time and sat with the manager of the day....we talked about gold ..and I was a big reader at the time and suggested we put all my rrsp into gold and silver......gold was under 300 and silver was under or at 5....they said we suggest that would be detrimental to ther growth profile for me and theys metals would go no where.....damn them...lol......never did buy
