It all fluctuates. There's no safe haven in ANYTHING in world investments as it all can crash, to be quite frank. Pick your assets as wisely as you can, diversify. I see no gold vending-genie in stocks. And the brokers make their cut whether you win or lose.
We've have turned quite a profit in silver thus far, and no, it isn't going to go back down to 20-40 bucks an ounce. That's over. The artificial suppression and manipulation by the banks has run its course.
Too much demand by investors, too much paper silver in the market without real substance, and more importantly, too much demand in this post-modern era in the manufacturing sectors and not enough silver to go around (and much of that silver can't be harvested and re-used again)... to say the least.
They aren't creating any more real estate, and they still haven't figured-out how to create any more precious metals by alchemy.
Now of course the un-Federal Reserve created paper notes out of thin air.....and that crap is over...fiat is on its way out. We will see nations valuing their currency on the assets on their balance sheet- metals, minerals, other natural resources, reserves, and so forth.
Of course- many people think that inflation us caused by the cost of making things going up ('oh things are just getting more expensive'...) , when in all reality, they don't realize that it's the severely declining value of our fiat currency that creates inflation, it loses its buying power, and creates higher prices on goods & services, etc.
I think part of that myth about gold (and more recently silver) comes from being able to hold it in your hand. Others are the same way about land. You can hold the dirt in your hand and walk your property line. It feels more real than owning shares in a company.
Ah yes, a myth that you can actually hold in your hand. snort. Oxymoron alert.
Insiders have all the cards.
And Congress are some of those people (!!). Pukes. And that's coming to a screeching halt.
