<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1351680, member: 26302&quot;]While I liked your table Fatima and appreciated you putting it together, I do not think it proves why we are talking about gold, nor prove that silver is not also a store of value, as is platinum and a few other metals. I think it shows each metal has its own market and can behave differently, but I am still sticking to my belief that long term there will be a relationship between oil and all PM, since incremental mining is dependent on the number. Like I said, I view PM in this light as &quot;condensed oil&quot; that is easy to store. Will ratios vary over time? Yeah, but that makes more of a case to hold a varied basket of metals more than proves one is superior. I would fully expect in an economic recovery, (and it will happen), for platinum to outperform gold in that period.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its like the Spanish Inquisition, no one ever EXPECTS an economic recovery until it happens. I like to be a contrarian, so I have been preparing for a recovery for a couple of years. When times are good is when I like to prepare for a downturn. More money can be made riding bulls or bears, but I have never been very good at that timing, and simply prefer to place my bets on my 5 year view and let it ride.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not trying to make anyone else believe me, but its my thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
