LJ Renter, I am not necessarily saying that you should buy gold or silver, but I will say I have a large portfolio of physical silver and quite a bit of gold. As the markets were changing a year ago I starting buying commodities only because I believed that as the dollar continued its’ decline that this would be the proper hedge against this economic downfall. You can’t really find any silver or gold anywhere without paying a premium. Funny enough I find that the best place to buy it is on Ebay. You can buy these commodities on monex.com and nwtmint.com with lower prices, but it can take up to 3 or 4 months to receive it.
As gold and silver just took a huge dump over the last 2 months I was beginning to think it was time to move back into real estate. Now that I start finding out the true meaning behind these huge corrections I will probably start making the move back into commodities. Here are a couple of very interesting articles that basically show the amount of manipulation in the markets.
