Something you can leave your grandchildren without having to worry about central bank policy or highly leveraged markets. If you&#039;re trying to get rich in one lifetime, then maybe precious metals aren&#039;t the best way to go. It&#039;s more of a keep what you earn type deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Saying that you&#039;re afraid people are putting too much into gold doesn&#039;t make sense to me. You&#039;re afraid people will be able to keep what they earn? You&#039;re afraid people won&#039;t let other people play with their money? Maybe you&#039;re afraid there will be a bank run? I can&#039;t say I&#039;ve ever met a single person who bought gold yet wasn&#039;t happy to have it, but then most people don&#039;t buy gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m afraid of is the lemming mentality in this thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
