you're not seeing the whole picture, i've already said this, but gold is actually falling not rising, and it's not stable like many think
look at the all time chart for gold and you will see the whole picture, from a peak of 1900+ to today price, same shit as bitcoin
there were two peak in 1980 and 2011
Do you really have any clue what you are talking about? Gold and silver are manipulated like crazy.
The price of gold raise when they seperated it from the usd.
80% of all tradeable gold is paper gold. People who think they own gold when in fact there is just 1/8 physical avialable. This means the real price of gold should by 7/8 times higher then it is.
Same thing for silver, the best part about silver is that the demand rises but there will be no new silver left in about 10-15 years (with this demand). Because silver is used so much in almost every elec product for its unique specs it must remain cheap otherwhise alot of products will be much more expensive then it is now, untill now they have not found anything that could come in place for silver in products.
I woud suggest buying silver and not gold. Many believe the price of silver will go x10 in the next comming years, some even say 2015 is the year the financial markets fail and the price of precious metal will go skyhigh.
