<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1118614, member: 26302&quot;]This is true Cloud, but there is an element of truth in the statement. A lot of the runup in prices the US is seeing recently is not a true run up in values, it is effectively a weakening of the dollar. Even more globally, weakening in many currencies. If the dollar is devaluing, from a common citizen&#039;s perspective it will appear that any imports or exportable goods are going up. They aren&#039;t goin up, you are going down. Maybe that is what the OP&#039;s teacher was trying to express.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am still leery of silver in particular. I am smelling some hedge fund activity here. Not sure when to bail, and not saying long, long term silver is not a good contra asset, I am currently just suspicious of overspeculation. Just my opinion, and I hope many or most disagree with it, (I hate investing the same way as the crowd). I got goosebumps, (not the good kind), the other day when I ran into 3 straight stories on Yahoo telling how good an investment silver coins were.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
