Great advice from Mr. Merk.

PS. Please take care when it comes to stock chat forums too.  Most if not all not in your best interests and want your hard earned cash as you buy into their selling and sell into their buying.....hypsters versus bashers manipulations.  Stay in your reality not theirs.  :)  Personally, I prefer equities over the barrels of oil, bars of gold and silver.  They may offer better leverage but also bring on more risk like country risk, production and development risks.  As always, choice is yours after your own opinions are developed from your own DD, buy, hold, sell or stay away, you got other priorities in life, take care of them first, markets always there......forum hooligans are always there too, lol.  :)

Cheers,

Dave.
