However, keep in mind that you are merely taking dollars out of the stream of payments and putting them into suspended animation. 10 years later, the silver or gold is still the same, but the dollars you now see are only worth 10% of the ones you put away 10 years earlier.
By putting those original dollars into suspended animation, you have only preserved their value. You have not made any money, especially when you have to pay taxes on the bogus "gain" that didn't really occur.
Does that help?
I knew it would happen.

No.
But I do believe it's better to have gold and silver suspended in time rather than hold paper.

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." -Deut. 6:4-5
"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us." -Isaiah 33:22
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

<< <i>If it does, a gallon of gas will be $5, milk will be $8...do I need to go on? So at some point you have to ask yourself, do you really want it to get too carried away? >>
Simply false.
In 2008, a gallon of gas was $3.25, milk was $3, and silver was $10.
In 2011, a gallon of gas is $3.25, milk is still $3, and silver is now $27.
So even though silver has nearly tripled in price in the past 2 years, gas, milk, bread, eggs, housing costs, tuition, and almost every other expense has either stayed the same or gone down in price.
