How are Platinum, Paladium and Rhodium(Zimbabweium?) doing?

Gold was a BIG deal in the early 1980's. Lot's of people bought it and stored it away in their safety deposit boxes, or whatever.

THAT "fad" disappeared. Now it may be back.

Say it ain’t so, Joe.

Just got a big SCUBA tank, valve and transport dolly for filling my USFT for 3 ounces of silver a couple weeks back. :-)

Also was pleasantly surprised to find out a hunk of melted metal I found detecting a while back which I thought might be gold is actually 28% silver and 42% Rhodium... 2.7 ounces (used one of the new XRF handhelds on it)

I have begun to think of what if I was a dentist in say Osaka or perhaps a journeyman lawyer in Toulon. I have substantial assets and I am fearful they will just disappear.

Where do I put my money? where is safe?

Two thoughts come to mind.... the American stock market in a good mutual fund, and Gold.

I can get on my computer and buy both in merely minutes. I can hedge my local investments easily on my computer from my desk. I can zap some money from my American local branch bank account as easy as pie
