<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1690305, member: 15199&quot;]My opinion: China and other large nations are slowing down. Hyperinflation is only talked about in conspiracy sources, low inflation, maybe even deflation appears certain for the next 2-5 years, commodities are decreasing on lowered industry and personal needs. The companies most on this site tend to hate are doing very well, but few here are participating, so the real world recognized that the need for PM is lessened and sold interests. Margin calls on PM contracts and options created the fall to current levels and much was the cause of the anti-bullion sites ( with large short positions) pushing to sell PM, and increase their gains also. Barring world wide catastrophe ( and one can not discount such, PM appears to be where base metals such as&nbsp; aluminum, steel, were in the 2008 range. Current PM holders were given evidence of a stronger dollar but continued with the &quot;Valueless paper curse comments&quot;, continued with the rogue government confiscating PM, the people spouting &quot;Buy now for the end of world protection&quot; &quot;back up the truck&quot;, &quot;buying more if it goes down another 22 cents, etc. Misery loves company, but don&#039;t fall into the buy now as it is going to zoom back. Read more than bullion publications. The US is doing much better than almost any other country, and I suspect it will for the next few years.&nbsp; Diversification is the key for investments. Stocks, real estate, commercial investments, and even 5-10% commodities ( even PM) will serve better in the long run. For PM now, I would search through the producers, who have taken a beating, but still has the PM in the ground and production that can be hedged. The % gain should be higher than the spot prices over a couple of years. IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
