<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 818044, member: 3011&quot;]Great question.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think anybody knows.&nbsp; Some analysts point to the Great Depression and the fact that silver and gold prices rose during a severe deflation.&nbsp; But back then, gold and silver were money, and metal backed currencies appreciate under deflationary conditions.&nbsp; Conditions today aren&#039;t really comparable.&nbsp; My best guess is that if we have moderate deflation, short term Treasuries are superior to metals.&nbsp; If we have super-severe deflation to the point where even Treasuries default, metals are superior to Treasuries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
