i have been saying to buy gold/silver for 10 years now, i think i'm happier being up 500% than flat in stocks over the last 10 years. shit, even fishhead is happier being up a couple hundred % on corn/farmland
keep some fundamental facts in mind: 1) every paper currency in the history of the world has been devalued to zero 2) every ounce of gold and silver in the history of the world has kept its value if your great-great grandparents took their paper money and hid it under their mattress in their house, and you just found it now, it would have almost no purchasing power vs. when they stored it. if they hid precious metals they would still have similar or greater purchasing power.
