It all depends. Everything comes and goes in cycles like a pendulum. For thirty years, interest rates have been slowly dropping. This causes some investments to do well, and others to do badly. Real estate exploded because of this, and government bonds did great too.
Now we are on the other side of that pendulum, and what worked in a falling rate environment will not work anymore. But what hasn't been good in a falling environment, is now back in style. Position yourself for rising rates, and happy days will be here again.
Thanks for the advice.
But, shouldn't gold and silver prices be rising instead of dropping?
