Yeah, I agree. Just don't try to convince others w/o donning the flameproof suit. Actually, I tend to slightly prefer silver. The best of both worlds may in fact be copper, which has outperformed both Au & Ag. (Tripled vs doubled since appx 2001) Look at the charts of PD and PCU. PCU also pays a screaming div but there is political risk. With copper, you are betting on a nice basket of possibilities: Further commodities run; increased China demand, continued housing boom, continued [alleged] strong economy etc;

Maybe the better staement

One other thing. I do believe that no matter how much the Fed and the World Banks tinker with world's monetary policy there has to be a point where the science of money takes over and washes away all of man's attempts to skew the end result.

What we are talking about is modern day alchemy. Turn a worthless alloy into gold. I just do not believe that can go on in perpetuity.
