Gold, Silver and Real estate good investments generally speaking but never linear - always short term wobbles and spikes. When the big financial crashes happen everything will take a short term price hit hit as people sell in mad panic and others are forced to sell to cover margin calls. Cash has its 5 minutes in the sun - during the crash cash is king again.

That's the optimum time to buy assets if you can when nobody else wants them and everbody else wants cash. Holding a diverse portfolio including precious metals and real estate in the mix is always pretty good way to go IMO.

If gold's such a great 'investment', why did it decline during WW2, the most destructive conflict in history?
Isn't gold supposed to insure one against such calamities?
