Gold has been periodically overvalued, and that value has crashed upon occasion for five thousand years. It did jack sh!t for the Gypsies and the Jews in WWII.

Mr. Edd, you said ... Gold has been periodically overvalued, and that value has crashed upon occasion for five thousand years.

Gold may have periodically been overvalued and may have crashed based on its exchange rate to the FIAT currency of its time. My statement was that it has held a consistent purchasing power. That is true with may an exception to 3 years back in 1979-1982. Hold on to your dollars, they will ALWAYS be worth something.
