"And the calculators would be nice. for working out ASW and AGW from junk/melt world coins i mean" I couldnt figure out how to bring up a quote box Do you use windows, mac or linux operating system? If linux, I can write you a trivial bash script to do that. I use one that gives me exchange rates and new york and asia/europe spot bids from kitco in real time in australian when I type 'current-spot.sh' into a terminal. I've thought about doing something like that but just haven't gotten round to it.

I think he changed his handle so he could go and annoy people in the crypto threads. It is good to see gold up hear. Not too far from all time highs. If all this trade war stuff fizzes out it will probably slump back. If the trade war tango drags on we could see it break all time (AUD) highs.
A$1803 per Troy oz on 08 July 2016. (Kitco interactive chart can't be linked directly.) Spot close also approached A$1,800 in 2011 before receding. All-time high of US$1,917.90/oz at spot on 23rd August 2011. Due to the high AUD at the time, that was only ~AU$1,400/oz.
Most things do much better than leaving money in the bank. When inflation shoot up even stocking up on toilet paper will do better.
Don't forget that there is a resurgence in commodity prices starting. If it continues it will mean that the AUD will rise causing a downward effect on AUD gold price. As gold is technically a commodity it too might rise in USD but there is no telling if this rise will be at the same rate. So, probably this will mean that gold in AUD will see sideways overall movement with some fairly wild fluctuations.
