<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1960035, member: 38849&quot;]The problem with your analysis -- we are living TODAY in unprecedented times.&nbsp; The money supply has NEVER increased exponentially before.&nbsp; The debt levels have NEVER exploded so rapidly before.&nbsp; The average household (now I speak of the last 50 years) has NEVER seen its net worth decline 30%.&nbsp; The Fed has NEVER played such an enormous role in our day-to-day lives.&nbsp; Financial crime has NEVER been this pervasive or dismissive or manipulative; you need only look at the billion-dollar fines levied on banks and corporations to see how far we&#039;ve sunk, and how fast we&#039;re sinking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the &quot;old&quot; rules no longer work.&nbsp; For the time being, the majority of you will not let go of the old rules, nor adapt to new ones.&nbsp; Where medoraman and I agree, we agree strongly -- the only point to buying PM&#039;s is to preserve purchasing power, but unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans tally up their assets strictly in depreciating dollars, and if they are wrong, they will (again) be devastated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buying food, weapons, fuel, etc., is <u>an entirely different issue</u>.&nbsp; As I have taken pains to explain, if and when <b>medicines</b> are cut off, some of us will never live to open that second crate of chicken soup, and I expect that&#039;s the way it will play out.</p><p><br /></p><p>==========</p><p>By the way, with savings and money market accounts earning south of 1%, it doesn&#039;t matter that gold doesn&#039;t pay dividends.&nbsp; Nor will the $40/year for a SDB (big enough for all the gold you&#039;re ever likely to accumulate) bust your budget.&nbsp; Because I hold about 95% silver, my storage charges are higher, but considering the risk profile, that doesn&#039;t matter either.&nbsp; There&#039;s plenty of excuses not to buy PM&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
