Personally, I will take a great NR over the alternatives. I think inflation would help gold producers the most, and we are a long way from doing that. Good discoveries got us much higher than where we are now, more of that might get us back.
There have been lots of predictions of wild inflation, and maybe it will happen but I don't think it will be anytime soon. People are still licking their financial wounds too much to bid up goods, services and labour in the current environment, even if it is improving.
Cheers!
