<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1481285, member: 26302&quot;]I think everyone here would agree long term all PM will be up. The question would be is PM going up greater than the general inflation rate? That is the key. If PM is only going to track inflation, then I am sitting on a contra asset costing me money, since I would rather have an asset with a return instead of PM which actually has a negative yearly return since I have to pay to store it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Always remember in all investments, going up with the rate of inflation is not a &quot;win&quot; but merely keeping even. </p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, since PM does tend to hold its value in bad economic times, if it only keeps up with inflation in times other assets ar going down, then that is valuable. As such, I hold PM as a contra asset as a percentage of a portfolio. To me at least, that is the most easily justifiable position for PM purchases. The rest of my PM purchases is for fun, because I like pretty coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
