<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pennsteve, post: 2309214, member: 33011&quot;]I&#039;m afraid to invest in metals.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Well, with a simple explanation, lets say I have a $20 bill and $20 worth of gold.&nbsp; Gasoline costs one dollar per gallon and they accept paper money or gold.&nbsp; To make it simple lets just say gold costs $20 an ounce, so I have one ounce.&nbsp; I can buy twenty gallons of fuel and pay with either the $20 bill or the ounce of gold.&nbsp; Next year gasoline prices are still the same, $1 per gallon, but the price of gold dropped by 50% to $10 an ounce.&nbsp;&nbsp; I can still get twenty gallons of fuel with my $20 bill, but now I need twice as much gold to get the twenty gallons.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sure, gold can also go up, but it just seems safer to save paper money....I guess?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
