Was thinking the same, but why would everyone be more interested in gold an silver in a couple of months than they are right now? Sure it beats holding dollars of stocks.

But, keeping both feet on the ground, I'm tempted to think that if the economy collapses I'd not be very interested in buying precious metals. I'd be looking for food, a roof to live under and safety.

Buy high, sell low. Excellent result when you follow the masses, especially when being a little late.

I saw the graphs of some silver mining stocks and it seems to just follow silver price, why don't just buy silver then?
