<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1355373, member: 26302&quot;]Over the long term I agree with this. However, my investment goals are not preservation of wealth, but increase in wealth. Simply put, historically there are other investments whose long term track record generates much greater returns than holding a commodity. Commodities have a negative return, costing you money each year to hold them. Therefor they have to beat inflation every year just to maintain their purchasing power. Couple that with buy/sell spreads, and it makes it harder for them to simply keep up with inflation long term. Yes, PM has had a good run, but that simply means you are buying at a much higher price than those of us who bought 20 years ago did. Therefor, its even harder to double or triple your money today than it was in the past with these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
