(adjusted) to begin with. The estimate of 2 billion also assumes it would have been sold at that price at the time it had trebbled. The price of gold fluxuates (obviously) and it is not considered a good investment. At the time (1999-2000 ish) it was certainly a better deal to get out and put that money in something else.

They tried to corner the market on frozen concentrated orange juice." NO sense of humor: "The Dukes were fictional. Their best counterpart here are the Hunts, who tried to corner the market on Silver. It still didn’t work." Cheers, bucslim! Sense of humor: “What about Mortimer and Randall Duke?
