Just read the story of the S.S. Central America.&nbsp; There was a day when gold was worth nothing, they scattered it about like trash because they knew it would kill them even quicker than they were going to die - it (GOLD) at that moment became weight worth nothing.</p><p>To put down paper of Fiat Money and in favor of gold and silver has advantages and disadvantages like all things in life the answer is both yes &amp; no, true and not true, good and some bad, value and little value and risk and no risk - none as far as I can see has any inherent value over the other until you get into real wealth like a country&#039;s stored amount - even then aren&#039;t all the eggs in one basket for one lucky over throw attempt and then would it not be favorble to have had a little deversity spread around instead of sitting in one place???&nbsp; </p><p>Thanks,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
