<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bart9349, post: 1174729, member: 5682&quot;]Some people actually bought gold bullion in the late 90&#039;s and early 2000&#039;s. Large amounts of gold bullion can be easily stored in a safety deposit box.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buying an equivalent amount of silver bullion would be too cumbersome. The silver ETFs (exchange traded funds traded on the stock exchange) didn&#039;t gain popularity till after 2006.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold is a better hedge on inflation and is less likely to be manipulated by large investors to the detriment of the small (usually novice) investor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you really think that gold could drop from $1500 to $1100 (less than the relative drop in silver) in a couple weeks? I don&#039;t know anyone who thinks gold will plummet, but several savvy investors had bet that silver would collapse.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>g.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
