All Roads Lead to Hard Assets
Gold, silver and hard assets will be the last ones standing when the global FIAT ponzi implodes.
In the meantime just be happy you can buy metals and miners on the cheap because one day you will not be able to.
Hard assets is the inevitable trade.
Why be worried by short term volatility if you know you are going to win in the end?
The opportunities seem huge with multiple commodities. I started out buying almost entirely gold and silver companies last year but have diversified into many other commodities now. My oil stocks and uranium stocks have performed the best. Gold and silver companies have also done well (mostly exploration plays including many highlighted here and by Crescat). Most of my PM producers and near-term producers have languished. My platinum, rare earths, and other metals stocks (zinc, nickel, etc) haven’t done especially well in the last few months.
Still, I am with those who believe that this will be a long commodity bull market. All these will do well in the coming years.
