<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1113814, member: 29012"]Nobody knows the future, but to me, having been a math student, this looks just like an exponential curve approaching infinity. Unlike the spike in the 80's where you had steady as she goes and then getting blown out of the water, this has been a slow but steady incline that has recently turned the corner and now appears to be approaching increasingly higher numbers. There are a multitude of factors; excessive liquidity in the money supply, bank insolvency, global volatility, failed business models getting bailed out, USD expected to lose its global dominance, much of which leads to fear and safe haven demand by both individuals and governments which just adds to the multitude. While it's easy to look to specific events that coincide with jumps in PM's, I personally think they do a good job of masking the true culprit which is abandoning the gold standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Were some of these factors not the case, I would much more readily consider this to be the top, but there is too much going against fiat money right now for me not to be bullish on metals. Sure, the housing market (land in general) used to be viewed as a safe haven, but to me (hindsight is 20/20) that viewpoint is fundamentally flawed, because houses cost a lot of money, and in times of difficulty nobody can afford them so supply/demand will cause prices to go way down regardless of an inflationary or deflationary environment. PM's are small enough to always be able to find a place in your portfolio, so they will always be affordable to those who want them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
