Ludwig von Mises

I must disagree with this statement: [quote]...silver and gold bullion doesn't necessarily keep going up in value. So, investors need to view buying gold and silver bullion as if it is gambling.[/quote] If you are referring to the rigged paper gold & silver markets, and someone is trying to make a quick buck buying and selling bullion depending on short-term swings in the gold price, then I agree, you are gambling. However, if you are [i]INVESTING[/i] then you shouldn't care about short-term gains or losses. Investors in bullion & numismatics are in it for the long-term. We know that the eventual end of fiat money will push the value of our coins into the stratosphere.
