So yes, I think they are vulnerable to a decline (based on the scenario I gave in the other post), but I've been wrong so far and left some money on the table.

I do think in the big picture (3-5 years), the US$ will continue to decline and gold/silver will see more gains. I hope I have a chance to buy them again on the predicted correction you read about.



ETA: I don't expect the hyperinflation that a lot of people are forecasting and I see that as the least likely scenario at this point.
