Precious metals are so undervalued today in light of the world economic situation. It is too late to turn back the clock and guarantee all currency with precious metals. Perhaps this is where the world financial system got off track by not backing currency with gold, dollar for dollar. It would definitely be in every country's interest to stock up on precious metals because no one knows what paper money will do in the future. Paper money, like an insurance policy, is nothing more than a promise. Gold is tangible and over the years increases in value. Precious metals, in light of the current world situation, would not be overvalued at five times the current price.
