<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1014277, member: 13650&quot;]I have a few that were mainly purchased in 08.&nbsp;&nbsp; People that have any are few and far between.</p><p>&nbsp; Don&#039;t really&nbsp; know where this story is going now.&nbsp; I&#039;ve tried to forget about the squandered opportunities of 2000 and 2001.&nbsp; &nbsp; Purchased a few things in 08-09.&nbsp; Look back now at how much melt value has already increased on everything since then (silver and gold) and it&#039;s simply amazing.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; 800/oz is looking so cheap now.&nbsp; Everybody thought that was insane a very short time ago.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s going out of control now.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Silver has huge upside.&nbsp; Gold seems to be a high risk/high reward gamble.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nothing would surprise me from here on out.&nbsp;&nbsp; On one hand, I could see it come crashing down if the economy somehow finds a way to stabilize again and there isn&#039;t so much panic.&nbsp; You just don&#039;t know how many new buyers are in the market right now that have never been there before.&nbsp;&nbsp; The problem is, we haven&#039;t been able to actually see what would happen with gold during a recovery in the past 10 years because we haven&#039;t had one to experience!&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; On the other hand, things could get worse.&nbsp; It&#039;s easier for problems to continue than it is for everything to be solved.&nbsp; &nbsp; Interest rates continue to go lower and there&#039;s no end in sight for how much money the government will create out of thin air going forward.&nbsp; We know that will not end.&nbsp; That is a given.&nbsp;&nbsp; So in that sense, you can&#039;t lose buying anything tangible.&nbsp;&nbsp; It will pay off with time.&nbsp;&nbsp; Relatively short time at the rate we&#039;re going. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The $250 you had in your pocket in 2001 is the same $250 you have today.&nbsp; Only you could buy an ounce worth back then.&nbsp; Now you can&#039;t even get 1/5th of an ounce with it.&nbsp; That&#039;s what scares me.&nbsp; Hasn&#039;t even been 10 years.&nbsp; What happens in another 10 years?&nbsp; $5k gold?&nbsp; We&#039;ve seen a 550% increase over 9 years.&nbsp; Why not?&nbsp; <b>This coincides with record deficit spending that the US has never seen before.</b>&nbsp; <u><b>1 trillion a year</b></u> <b>now.&nbsp; People fail to understand this.</b> (Keep in mind 3 to 400 billion <u>record</u> deficits <u>were </u>a big deal in the mid 2000&#039;s, but that&#039;s a distant memory now.&nbsp; Now that would be cheap and almost successful management.) </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; People just think all this will magically go away, a new 90s will begin, everything will be great and the slate will be wiped clean.&nbsp;&nbsp; Unfortunately, we can&#039;t go back.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s been irrepairable damage done.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You could wait and see gold hit $2000+ next year.&nbsp; &nbsp; The buying power of everybody&#039;s beloved cash is evaporating before our eyes.&nbsp; It&#039;s a sad thing to say but seems rather obvious at this point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
