Gold and Silver Price Action

2011-10-28T04:44:00.001-07:00

The European Debt Fiasco resulted in a short term deal - but what Stock Markets are missing is the fact it still leaves Greece with 120-150% Debt to GDP Ratio - and that's assuming everything goes well between now and 2025 !

The Gold market has reacted by buying Gold and Silver because reasonable investors know that this is a short term movement in the stock/bond markets and that the longer term trend in Gold and Silver is here to stay.

So definately keep looking at coins and bullion that you like and staying with the current trends until something major changes seems a rational decision. As always before entering any market for investment purposes speak to a professional advisor... simply because every persons financial objectives are different.
