A quick favor to ask: Have any data on gold?

Does anybody happen to have any idea where I might be able to find up-to-date info regarding long-term gold returns? I’ve been searching online for a few days now and have had very little success.

Something like an updated version of the data in Jeremy Siegel’s Stocks for the Long Run would be great. Best-case scenario would be year-by-year prices, so I could calculate standard deviation and other similar stats.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: Thanks to “Frank” from Bad Money Advice. 🙂

    You can get monthly back to 1968 here: http://goldinfo.net/londongold.html

    Before that, of course, we were on the gold standard so the dollar price of gold was fixed for long periods of time.

    Great blog, BTW.
