@chillercm I stopped buying silver when it got above 24 dollars an ounce. I have a lot in savings. I max out my 401k. I think stockse will go up once businesses start reinvesting their profits again.

@chillercm if the economy kicks off, we'll likely get rampant inflation, so the commodities would be strong still.

@jrewert its good to invest some money in commodities like gold and silver, but really don't put a lot of your money into it. if the US economy shows starts improving that price could go waaay down. that would mean you ended up paying for the overvalued price of that precious metal and in turn make a big loss. remember its only worth as much as people are willing to pay for it.
