Currently people view the $Dollar as a safe haven for investment and it quite frankly is Not! Although Gold has been dropping, once the market bounces back, it will go back up. You ought to have some gold at this point in time! I found a great article regarding Gold as an Investment - How is it assessed and Why? The reasoning can be summarized as follows: 1. Gold is ‘real money’, fiat currencies are not. This is because at any point in time gold satisfies all components of the definition of ‘money’ where as a ‘store of value’ that definition in part means that ‘money’ must be able to be reliably retrieved and ‘predictably useful’ when retrieved. Fiat currencies do not meet this test as ‘money’. 2. At any point in time the U.S. $ is a measure of the price of gold, not a measure of its value. 3. At any point in time Gold’s value needs to be thought about in the context of its then current and prospective purchasing power, having regard to prevailing and prospective macro-economic conditions. 4. Whether the future economic circumstance is inflationary or deflationary some gold is a good thing to own as a ‘safe haven holding’.

I'm sure we can agree that during times of uncertainty we usually see equities under perform while gold outperforms given its ability to retain value vs. fiat currency. The question with Keynes solutions include: "is the reward from pumping the economy with cash, greater, less, or worse off than the inflationary pressures to come?" I personally think we have some rough times ahead, and given the increase in uncertainty, then we WILL experience significant and unprecedented rallies in Gold prices. As for the advice from Sprott Asset Management. If they foresaw the economic climate ahead of time, they WOULD HAVE NOT issued an IPO during the current climate. We've seen their prices fall from its debut at $10.00 to $2.49 since May of this year. I'm sure Mr. Embry IS aware of the market's vulnerabilities, as his company is under pressure to perform and capitalize on the commodity markets as indicated in their prospectus.
