I like to keep track...though not always closely. If you are exposed to a given market, you want to know what's going on within it. So as of earlier today:
Gold has gone up a hair over 4% in a month's time while platinum hasn't moved at all...I do wonder why. One possible reason is a %age of investors are nervous about the markets--stocks & ETFs can't keep up like this indefinitely, especially with the economic conditions we're in--& so are putting money into gold as a safe haven...a proven strategy. There's always a bit of randomness in the signals as well.
