<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2444710, member: 78153&quot;]I believe gold will - eventually - lose relative value and maybe a lot because it is historically overpriced today.&nbsp; If a substitute is found during a long term downtrend, I don&#039;t necessarily believe it will be possible to attribute any of the price decline to it because &quot;fundamentals&quot; are as often as not simply rationalizations for prior price action.</p><p><br /></p><p>With silver, I am less certain of it.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t have its prior monetary role and to date, I suspect that if its industrial demand has declined recently (as I believe it has at least somewhat), its probably been made up substantially by retail buying.&nbsp; Tens of millions of ASE have been bought by stackers.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the upcoming financial crisis that I see &quot;eventually&quot;, I expect a lot of selling of the physical (as opposed to &quot;paper&quot;) metal, both of them but especially silver.&nbsp; Some of it may be due to trend followers getting out but even if not, predominantly by &quot;weak hands&quot; who MUST sell to raise cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>After that though, even with limited industry uses, I don&#039;t see it being abandoned because fiat money losing its value is an even safer bet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
