Mooseslayer,

I have to agree with Jnycat. I also own ECU but have reduced my position. At the end of the day the reason gold and silver will rise is because paper money will burn.

That being said, why would you want to hold stocks that are valued and paid in Fiat money that no one will want! When the time time conmes and it will soon, there will be no monitary value for gold and silver...only a fool would exchange real money for worthless paper.

FWIW!
