OK. Now that I understand where GnuCash's gold price comes from I've
come to the conclusion that what I called the "retail price" of gold is
a mirage!
My gold is in the form of Sovereigns (each of about 7.5gms) and I guess
that the only reliable way to get a value of it is by
rtfolio on a monthly basis it's no big deal to
enter a gold price manually so, as I say, it's just out of interest.
Thanks for indulging me.
