<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1310252, member: 29012"]Shorting metals is risky to me, but double shorting is double risky. The only market more bullish than metals right now is bonds. The difference is that the Federal Reserve buys all the bonds nobody wants. Diverisification is the most conservative way to go, but in my opinion metals are the safest place to be. As I've said many times they have no counter party risk which is what the $600+ trillion derivatives market is built upon. To think that it isn't intertwined with the bond market and the stock market is turning a blind eye IMO since the assets (truly debt) are all owned by many of the same institutions. They are highly leveraged with their assets to the point that any deflation would cripple them, and those highly leveraged assets often belong to their customers in the first place. Among all of these investment vehicles, metals are the only one that has value no matter what happens, no matter who stays in business, no matter who stays in power, no matter where the wind blows they have intrinsic value. No other investment can provide this, because they are all IOUs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
