<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1362949, member: 29012&quot;]Whether keeping money in the bank or spreading it around among a blind basket, chances of keeping up with inflation in today&#039;s environment of zero % interest rates are slim to none, and losing tangible value is a real possibility. An educated and properly diversified portfolio may certainly beat inflation and outperform precious metals, but one of the many nice things about investing in gold and silver is that it doesn&#039;t require any real education to make the right move. </p><p><br /></p><p>If there are negative real interest rates (inflation is at a higher rate than interest levels) then precious metals will perform well as a hedge against inflation. If there are high interest rates they will not. That&#039;s about all you really need to pay attention to for precious metals valuation, and that&#039;s why I backed up the truck in 2008 at the moment interest rates hit zero. If interest rates start to rise I will start offloading some of my silver, but until then I&#039;m buying at any price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
