<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 608247, member: 3011&quot;]I think it&#039;s very prudent to hold precious metals in an investment program.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had some CEF for many years in my tax deferred account, long before owning gold and silver was considered cool.&nbsp; Bonds are fine as long as they are high quality and short term.</p><p><br /></p><p>The idea that we will have deflation followed by inflation seems to be the consensus view.&nbsp; But I think an equally strong case could be made that we will have inflation first followed by a deflationary collapse.&nbsp;&nbsp; In fact, it seems like the prices of necessities are rising while the prices for luxuries are declining at the same time.&nbsp; In the end, inflation and deflation are basically the same thing (???!) so it doesn&#039;t really matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
