RE:$$$ ;Assuming interest rates stay high you raise perhaps a valid argument. I definately do not have all my eggs in one basket but given the argumant you give albeit not entirely wrong we would not have any Gold mines in operation because the cost to running most anyone of them would be too high. so then one has to beg the question is there long term value in Gold or not?? when I say i will be all in that reflects 10-20% of my entire PF only.. I call it insurance for when the dollar cracks... but heh never hurts to raise an opposing viewpoint...
