Even showmen can be right on occasion.....still gold and silver are insurance....and investment.
As an investment...it involves substantial risk and possible gain....
Those that have it understand...those that don't have it, generally are its most outspoken opponents.
The saying: "Even a broken clock is right twice a day" comes to mind. This is true of Cramer. He's a nutcase.
Gold and silver are way too expensive now,and way too many people are investing in the ETF's, which are paper without the backing of the actual commodity.
Personally, I've been doing fine with the buy-and-hold technique with high dividend stocks.
