[QUOTE="mikem2000, post: 1642727, member: 30574"]I am not happy with the money printing, the debt, the spending either, but it is important to keep the facts straight. The fact is stocks are not in a bubble, and at this time, even with all the money printing, it has not inflated our currency. Now do I feel comfortable in the current economic condition, No, I don't, but to assume equities are in a bubble and destined to collapse is a grave mistake. In 2006 equities were trading at much higher multiples than today, ie. they were more expensive and were overvalued. What happened? They came tumbling down. On the other hand, SLV was trading as low as $9 which is well below the cost of production, ie. It was cheap and undervalued. What happened? It soared. Flash forward, to 2013. Silver is at $30 which is around 50% higher than the cost of production. No getting around the fact it is expensive. Equities are trading at below average historical multiples so you would have to consider them cheap. So we have expensive silver, cheap stocks and a lot of variables that we cannot change or even understand how they will all line up. My money will be on the cheap stocks, because, Well they are cheap. We will count our toys at the end of year.[/QUOTE]
