re: Buying physical... to hold... is not a good idea unless we face a total collapse

----------

... perhaps there are scenarios where physical versus stocks/ETFs are valued differently...

... perhaps costs of mining and/or political impediments might dampen perceived miner equity valuations... presenting a premium to stores above ground...

... perhaps all forms of "paper" investments will demand a much higher risk premium if/as various forms of newer, hybrid, paper investment vehicles fail (i.e. derivatives) or/and fraud within corporations (i.e. backdating options, managing earnings) is more closely scrutinized...

... to paraphrase Buffett -- when the tide does recede, how will the naked, pruned bodies impact valuation perceptions?

... perhaps "the real" will have tangible valuation advantages over "the promised and papered"...
