During a currency crisis, the one thing that you don’t want is the currency that’s being destroyed, which is the United States dollar; you need an alternative currency. The only alternative currencies that I know of that have held up well are, of course, gold and silver. I do believe you need both. I do believe that I could certainly be wrong. Perhaps there’ll be some miracle cure here. I really doubt it, but you don’t need much more than a 10% or 20% protection in order to be well protected if things break down quite substantially for you to come out of this in very, very good condition. On the other hand, I know many of you are what I call metal heads, like me, and you prefer a higher weighting than that; of course, that’s your personal choice. I’m not going to advocate much more than, say, 20% for most people. There will be a day, in my view, probably in the 2010 to 2012 timeframe, where the dollar just gets to a position where people don’t want it, not only on an international basis with our trading partners, which is already showing up, but also on an individual basis. And this is where you’ve got to be very careful to see what’s going on.

There will be a time when people decide that they’d rather purchase something that’s a hard good that can be stored and maybe bartered later, rather than hold the currency. Again, I don’t think we’re going to see that this year. I think 2009 will be mostly a deflationary year; 2010 is when I expect all of this monetary stimulus and printing of money will work itself into the economy. By that timeframe, it’ll start manifesting in huge increases in inflation. However, it could take off at any time and I’m well aware of that. I do have key indicators that we watch. I don’t think I’ll miss it, certainly not by much of a timeframe. There wouldn’t be a huge lag in the work that we do here, so if I’m wrong as far as the timing is concerned, I would certainly send out an alert or an update and report it, as required, so that you see the fundamental thinking that I’ve changed and why.
