Comments today from gold and stock market guru Steve Kaplan that apply to OS investors with a vengeance:

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Risk is always perceived to be greatest when it is least, and vice versa. Investing
in the stock market has never been a more dangerous enterprise than it is right now, yet it has become as
commonplace as a morning cup of coffee with the Wall Street Journal. Betting on rising commodities prices is
currently considered to be an option only for idiots, although with inflation-adjusted valuations at levels
equivalent to that of the early 1970s, the risk/reward scenario has rarely been rosier. In the early 1980s,
commodities were all the rage and stocks, which hit their lowest inflation-adjusted levels since World War I,
were avoided like the plague.
