I think even if deflation is a possibility, it is a much lower probability event than hyperinflation. And besides, being invested in gold and gold stocks will protect against both deflation and hyperinflation. That, and having some cash in non-USD currencies (using a fund like MERKX) is IMO a good way to prepare for deflation even if I think that deflation is highly unlikely, given that the Fed has the printing presses and the helicopters and have not only virtually promised to use both, but have started using them in the form of lower interest rates and bailouts left and right. Thanks for your input. Though I follow Puplava, I certainly don't believe in following him or anyone else blindly.
