Devaluation, Silver, and Real Estate

so theres been a lot of talk about the devaluating dollar , china pulling out of the us bond market and a whole array of fear inducing headlines slipped in just below justin beiber and bristal palin updates.

There is a lot of talk that the real estate market will stay down for another two years, meanwhile silver and gold are supposed to skyrocket as the feds fiat money starts get exposed for what is it - a house of cards.

I was wondering if anyone is buying silver or gold and if anyone thinks real estate being down is good thing ( a chance to accumulate income producing properties)

It's getting harder to determine where to put assets for growth and safekeeping as it seems things change so fast now days - it's tough trying to figure out which investments will stay relevant. Ask some people and they will tell you to invest in seeds, ammo, and silver - but is it realistic to expect those investments will actually pay off? ( well, silver probably will)

when I was a kid , I thought everybody was going to head to the hills and become survivalists cause the atomic bombs were gonna get everybody and the world was going to be total anarchy everyman for himself.... now it is terrorists/bankers/NWO or whatever other unseen enemy is scaring off / rigging all the investment vehicles.

Guess I'm just wondering what else some of you are hedging your investments with other than real estate....

The best thing you can do, Jayme, is to become 'educated', or even better become an 'expert' in whatever investments you are interested in.

There's plenty of money to be made out there, but not by people with mere 'general' knowledge or who depend upon other people's 'guidance'.

This I have learned the hard way.
