RE: RE: RE: In the eye of the hurricane VentureTrader1, yes, i do believe that- That is holding physical gold and silver too. But i think it is okay to hold mining stocks as long as the stocks are in safe countries and they actually produce gold or silver. Sooner or later, this printing of fiat currency has to come to an end. There has to be either default or hyperinflation when the bond bubble eventually pops. And this bond bubble is the biggest mother of all. i mean, how can anyone keep on accepting paper money. Russia, India, and China and many other countries are stockpiling gold and silver. Where the heck did Germany's gold go? What were the German's told?- That they can get their gold back in 5 to 7 years? Hmmm...makes one think. But sooner or later, inflation which is there but not admitted to, will really spike and as gold gets back to about $1700 per oz. these gold miners like AR-TSX will rebound with a vengence, not unlike a dog tied to a post and suddenly released. i hope that i can be smart enough to buy on the dips and benefit from it. Good luck to you.
