<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 7491142, member: 26302&quot;]Yes but what about taxes. I agree with you PM maintains value over time, and can be more liquid. This is at the expense of beating inflation and generating a return. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, your comparisons like this, (and all over the internet), are no longer valid like they were in 1874. Let&#039;s assume the slides are 100% correct. Problem is, when you went to convert the gold to USD you incur a long term capital gain, so your house situation you would NOT have $275,000 to buy the house, but more like (275,000*.72)=198,000 after tax. So even taking your examples net of tax they do not maintain their value anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like pm, I keep some money in it for a SHTF scenario, but it has major downsides nowadays. I mainly keep it to Scrooge McDuck it in coins I like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
