Hi Daytr - I see you are a holder of DRM.
Sad to report, I have held MYG since listing, sometimes bucketloads with matching bucketloads of losses, but I know zilch about the history of DRM. Never heard of it until merger offer.
To get an idea of relative performance, I overlaid DRM, MYG and XGD as below.
As can be seen, MYG and the gold index are almost in lock-step.
Can you briefly explain what the spurt in price from say June 2013 to March 2014 was about and then the crash that followed? I know DYOR etc but that's not as telling as being a holder and watching your money go up and then disappear. - CS
