<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1218095, member: 29012"]Stories of gold and silver being used as currency are as old as, if not older than the Bible. Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Whether PM's are used as official currency or not, and whether or not you can exchange them for other currency or have to throw your stash in your backpack and hoof it, if nothing else they should continue to be viewed as a store of wealth because that's what they always have been. Why else would gold be so expensive when it really provides no other practical use? Why else would central banks be buying it at today's high prices? Why else is demand at unprecedented levels? </p><p><br /></p><p>For me it's not about speculation or making a profit (though profit is nice and I do anticipate that happening ;-). It's about having something that will maintain its value and provide an avenue of commerce in any situation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
