<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1417692, member: 29012"]My thoughts exactly. In an environment where nations around the world are in a race to debase their currency to pay off an exponentially growing and unpayable debt it seems to me that conventional wisdom may lead one astray without carefully examining all the factors. Just because something worked before doesn't mean it will work this time around, and with all the risks in today's scenario I feel much more comfortable holding something that has value in spite of whatever may come. Currency is only viable as long as monetary policy is sound, which it is not. Bonds are only viable as long as soverign debt is manageable, which it is not. Stocks are only viable when people have enough faith in the system to keep their money in it. Precious metals might very well underperform all of these things, but they do not carry any of the inherent risks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
