<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Troike, post: 2738497, member: 87523&quot;]Silver and gold have been in a nice uptrend as far as I can see, so there is a little retracement right now.&nbsp; Although I am not buying silver or gold bullion per se, I am investing in rare coins that have silver and gold. The Russians and Indians are buying large amounts of gold and I would think that would put pressure on the supply side of things.&nbsp; Silver has industrial uses, so if the economy does well, so should silver. I would go so far to say that the rare earth metals are worth accumulating in the form of ETF&#039;s, ie LIT, PHYS,PSLV,SPPP, REMX and the likes.</p><p>Just my opinion, but I think debt in this country has gotten way out of hand. The value of the US dollar on the FOREX has been strong due to strength in our economy relative to other country economies, but this will not go on for ever. I follow the dollar and other currencies so just to get an idea on where monetary policy and markets may be headed. Personally, silver is a beautiful metal much more than gold, but not as rare. I think the gold/silver ratio is quite high and I would be looking for it to come down a bit. I think silver is a better investment than gold and certainly more affordable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
