GZ The situation seems unlikely now, but may play out over the next 4-5 years as the housing crisis continues, unemployment remains high and needed, but painful, fiscal austerity is implemented. Such a scenario has the potential to also be recessionary/depressionary and also deflationary taking down commodity and PM prices. SLV has unfilled gaps in the teens. Ironically the greenback may be the place to be a few years from now with stocks selling at very deep discounts.
