<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2671557, member: 15199&quot;]The comparisons of stocks, dollars, and precious metals is inaccurate in my outlook, as precious metals are not a common method of exchange in real life, whereas dollars and stocks are. Compare the worth-volume of stocks traded everyday with that of gold , silver and platinum together. Not even close for precious metals. To invest in currency ( world wide, as precious metal are ) or stocks involve an intense amount of concentration and knowledge. True investment in precious metals by the average person is a &quot;buy it and hide it&quot; scenario rather than the stock slogan &#039; Don&#039;t fall in love with it&#039;. Investment would be to sell it also when the ratio seems profitable. Few do. I traded stock and bullion in the pre-internet days and the time delays for telephone and snail-mail to handle transaction was bad, unless you lived in a major population area within travel time. &quot;Physical Bullion investment&quot; involves shipping etc. for most to buy or sell, so it is done at a low level. Today most bullion investment is done as &quot;paper&quot; and is usually the driving force for the more rapid rise and loss of bullion prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bullion companies want to sell to you when they need the cash, but when their analysis says the price is going down, they change the slant of the articles to &#039;Buy for the long term&#039; in their email sheets and they change the buyback price lower to accumulate for the next cycle. Every large bullion dealer is deeply immersed in the &#039;Paper market&#039; as your middleman ( money) and even they sometimes get burned or collapse financially because they started believing their own articles. </p><p><br /></p><p>The lowman in the chain&nbsp; ( you and I, etc) can not control the future price of any commodity, mint issue coins, artist tokens, rare minerals, land, etc. We just have to be tolerant in learning and understanding finances, and being patient and really thinking about what we hear and read. DO not believe &quot; when it drops another $, i&#039;ll back the truck up. &quot; doubtful!&nbsp; The world will end and precious metals will make me the &#039;Man&nbsp; of the county&#039; . In military summary for survival PMs are&nbsp; small to little , or &#039;I guarantee the price of this will rise in the next few years&#039; Get it in writing and notarized. Be Suspicious and read .
