<p>[QUOTE=&quot;littlehugger, post: 2032223, member: 58633&quot;]As a rule, commodities, ie, gold, silver, oil, real estate, rise when the market tanks, as people are looking for protection of assets and going for an actual possession, rather than a paper promise.</p><p>&nbsp;But, when the market is good, as it is now, people ignore commodities and chase paper.</p><p>&nbsp;Metals are much like real estate, in that despite ups and downs, they tend to rise over time.</p><p>&nbsp;A lot of the run-up in precious metals was fueled by a fear of Armageddon, where paper money would have no value. In a worst-case scenario such as that, guns, ammo, water, food also become quite valuable.</p><p>&nbsp;Frankly, given the current climate, I do not think Armageddon is an entirely unlikely scenario. I guess its human nature, but how do you plan to survive the end of the world? Still, nice excuse to buy coins, eh?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
