Is Silver a Hedge Against Inflation
May 31, 2011The commodity of silver is being potentially setup as the biggest short squeeze in history. The world currencies are almost all fiat currencies and are being held back from hyperinflation through different market manipulations. Keep in mind that silver may not have a spike in price as we predict but all evidence points to this happening.
The manipulations occurring in the banks is due to the fact that never in history have all currencies been fiat currency at once. There are bubbles in real estate and other markets just as there were in the US going on in Asian markets right now. These Asian countries have no idea they are in a bubble. Before only North America and Western Europe could cause the price of gold and silver to rise. Now we have the rest of the world who can easily purchase these commodities to cause the price to rise.
The purchasing ability of the US dollar will soon be nothing because it is a fiat currency much as is the rest of the currencies of the world. When people wake up and the dollar starts to become worthless a bubble unlike anything we have ever experienced before will hit the precious metals markets of gold and silver. Those who buy gold and silver will see a dramatic increase in their investment and will save their soon to be worthless savings accounts that are in US dollars.
The small mom and pop investors who received their physical gold and silver investment will hold on to their investment in hand as prices for these go through the roof. The currency in peoples bank accounts may become worthless very quickly through hyperinflation but for those who have silver and gold investments in physical form their savings will be protected as these commodities will likely go up in cost.
In summary you can find security by insuring against the governments constant tweaking of the financial systems simply by getting some physical assets like silver. If something truly terrible were to befall the US government or Euro-zone you would be safe from catastrophe. This idea is not a crazy conspiracy idea but is reality these days and offers a practical solution to a possible second US depression.
Before you look into gold and silver online read this short report on the US financial bubbles here, Why Do Economic Bubbles Keep Happening. You can see that through these bubbles a transfer of wealth happens as people who knew ahead of time position themselves to make money rather than lose all of their money.
