<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1249779, member: 13650&quot;]Cloud, I think you&#039;re making some good arguments and I&#039;m trying to comprehend your viewpoint the best I can.&nbsp; But you keep addressing big business and not what happens to the &quot;little guy&quot; over time.&nbsp;&nbsp; So you&#039;re saying interest which helps drive inflation really is not a problem over time?&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t see how anybody can come to this conclusion.&nbsp; &nbsp; Assuming the US makes it another 100 years, our currency system will look like Zimbabwe.&nbsp; Maybe in 50 years.&nbsp;&nbsp; If wages for the little guy can keep up (which they are not and I don&#039;t believe they can) than no, it wouldn&#039;t be as big of a deal to have $6 gasoline.&nbsp; Or $10 milk.&nbsp;&nbsp; Or 10x that.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; What happens when a huge segment of society still doesn&#039;t have jobs and the people who are working aren&#039;t seeing a nickel&#039;s increase in pay over 4 or 5 years?&nbsp;&nbsp; Because that&#039;s what&#039;s happening.&nbsp; This is a totally different aspect that everyone fails to address here.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is the every day aspect that affects us all and is actually more important to discuss.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I think at minimum, we can all agree the moral of this story is you don&#039;t want to let a $100 bill sit too long.&nbsp;&nbsp; Which regardless of the side you want to take, proves fatima&#039;s point.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; One possible solution that probably seems outrageous since the current system is so ingrained in everyone, is the possibility of NO INTEREST.&nbsp;&nbsp; I know the idea seems wild, would require a lot of changes, and brings up many questions of feasibility but it would allow a system to work without breaking it if it somehow could be implemented.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Getting back to the original question here, I think it will be very difficult for silver or gold to fall.&nbsp; If it does, it will be difficult to buy at the new levels for quite a while.&nbsp; I think all these dealers love raking in the cash as they sell old stock that was bought cheap. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; But if they&#039;re sitting on piles of silver that they just paid $40 an oz for and it drops to $17 tomorrow, when do you think they&#039;ll actually have it for sale, marked down to $17 again?&nbsp;&nbsp; I think they&#039;re all going to hold a LOOONG time before everybody would dump at those levels again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
