I prefer silver to gold. Silver has industrial as well as financial advantages. I expect the gold/silver ratio to decline sharply over the next few years. I've been stacking for for a long time. This is definitely a good time to buy. For me I have to hedge against precious metals. I only buy physical metal not paper (stocks and futures). I think you also suggest this when you compare gold to a painting.
Great post. Hopefully I can catch your real estate article next week.
