<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 1631300, member: 38783&quot;]I tend to take any article with too much bias one way or the other and lower its &quot;believability index&quot; a few notches.&nbsp; To me anyone who lists only one side of the equation, either for or against, no matter their supposed credentials or educational background is not telling the whole story for a specific purpose to their advantage.&nbsp; This is not to say that any article by any writer may have valid points that one can extract and build their strategies on, but it&#039;s never a good idea to wholesale believe anything, from either side.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tend to agree with the article&#039;s general statement against PM&#039;s as an investment in the traditional sense, as I do believe that all things equal, stocks will outperform PM&#039;s in general paper gains.&nbsp; However, I do not agree with leaving out other points such as PM&#039;s as a general stable hedge against loss of purchasing power, which I personally believe to be the best placement for PM&#039;s in a portfolio in the current day.&nbsp; I personally believe that PM&#039;s will outperform bonds, CD&#039;s and the like with the current yields not keeping pace with inflation over the long term, and provide me with a viable safer alternative to &quot;cash under the mattress&quot; so to speak.&nbsp; However, currently for growth of capital I leave it to the stock market to make sure my current paper makes more paper.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a bonus that I find gold and silver coinage to be extremely eye-catching and thus it gives me an incentive to keep adding more... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
