Seriously?

You are comparing a 10% rise in silver (wrongly btw, profit would be 1k not 2k) to a 0.002% rise in Gold.

Gold prices fluctuate by whole dollars every other minute, silver by pennies.

Which is why commodity/stock prices performance can only be compared in percentage points.

I didn't want to answer any of your post, but now that I see your lack of grasp of even the most basic I understand a whole lot.
