<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ahearn, post: 1114800, member: 18211&quot;]I own physical silver and gold simply as a way to diversify my investment portfolio but they are often touted as a hedge against inflation, which I don&#039;t quite understand. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If someone could explain that to me, I would be most appreciative.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For example, are metal values supposed to move in tandem with inflation? Assuming so, would I sell my metals at the height of inflation to convert to inflated-value dollars? Since my metal holdings are limited, it would seem my ability to hedge long-term inflation would be limited as well, to the point of being relatively insignificant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
