mix of gold & precious NEM - Newmont (gold) HM - Homestake (gold) SWC - Stillwater (platinum group) SIL - Apex Silver these are picks by Stephen Leeb of "Personal Finance" a sharpy who dumped techs in Feb2k they tend to decline with deflation but they rise in breathtaking fashion with panic panic can arise from currency, fastmoving market, etc ever since abandonment of gold standard by Bretton Woods Agreement (by the biggest presidential economic moron in history - Nixon), currencies occasionally go into a panic from the lack of tethering to tangible hard asset bases, the best of which is gold such gold standard tethering doesnt solve all problems, but it sure does smooth out the bumps gold serves as an intermediary that ensures somewhat more responsible fiscal behavior instead of horrible swings in your currency, you would witness good sized swings in your required gold holdings at a central bank you tend not to spend your entire budget stupidly if you have to deliver 10 tons of gold by year end !!! some people now believe that the USdollar is overvalued by the extent to which gold dropped in value since 1994 it was fighting back then to remain above $400/oz now it is $260-280 per ounce so they are saying the dollar needs to decline until gold reaches $mid300 level again oy / jim
