[QUOTE="steven21020, post: 1124468, member: 28254"]There have been earthquakes and tsunamis for millenia and always will be. In many ways, countries are more prepared for them than in the past. The situation in Libya is a mess but we've seen worse. I think the doomsday scenarios are getting sooo boring! For many, the end of the world (in financial terms) was 1929, or the seventies. For me, 1984 was the worst ever. No job, no money, no future. A search for 'end of the world' reveals that almost every year, there will be some person or group claiming that the "End is nigh". There will most likely be some big changes over the next decade, maybe hyperinflation, currency crashes, but we'll get through it. Just look at Germany in 1924. To my knowledge, they're still there. Actually, even richer! No real idea about the gold/silver prices. I wonder just how much of world's problems are already built into the price increases and how much is just momentum and fear. One thing that I've noticed is how rarely we see charts showing how the prices have moved over decades rather than months or weeks. Do people who 'talk up' silver really have any idea of how much it's already risen? My gut feeling is that one day people will wake up, realise how long they've been waiting for the ever-elusive doomsday and wonder if it's really so great to have all that money tied up in PM. But who knows? :D Steve[/QUOTE]
