Nice points Sean! I cannot believe how much faith people currently place in paper assets! The economic recovery is really a joke isn't it? It is really crazy how much faith people have in stupid politicians to keep this debt-based system afloat. The smartest people I know are putting their savings into physical assets right now which have proven to be a store of value and wealth over centuries. Physical silver is the most undervalued physical asset on this planet right now! Be patient, a big move up is coming soon.
