I agree that silver and gold are good - but with their strong run you have to be leery about jumping in now (Silver at $12.50/ounce was an astute buy).
You can certainly make the argument that they'll continue to climb as we turn our currency into Zimbabwe dollars -- but you need to be very leery in chasing an investment that has already gone up 300%-500% in a few years.

I know, I am selling it. I think cash will soon become rare. But I am just holding the cash for a while.

Make that thousands of years......and the insurance it provides hasn't changed. Those that own it understand...those that don't, never will...
