<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1274766, member: 29012"]Just the flavor of the week IMO. Gold and silver are perpetually tasty. There's no reason that PM's have to outperform currency from this point forward, but something to consider is that if currency does lose the faith of the people (and maybe more importantly the big wallets out there) they couldn't possibly fit all their wealth into the small silver market unless prices went over $1,000 per oz. Otherwise supply would run out before they could spend it all. Of course silver is not the only metal that might be attractive in that case, so this is purely hypothetical. I do agree deflation is a very real concern and is the underlying factor behind the inflationary policies, but in that case it doesn't matter so much if metals go down if everything else that you need to purchase goes down faster. Sure in that case, dollars are better to hold, but if there is a heavy deflation it would be risky to assume that the established order would be able to continue with the status quo, and I'd be wary about anything reliant on their backing. I'm not saying any of this has to happen, and I certainly don't wish for that, but these are things I consider among possibilities and weigh in my thought process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
