Well I got some silver a while back at 12.50 and now it is over 30. It has not even been 2 years.

I agree that silver and gold are good - but with their strong run you have to be leery about jumping in now (Silver at $12.50/ounce was an astute buy).
You can certainly make the argument that they'll continue to climb as we turn our currency into Zimbabwe dollars -- but you need to be very leery in chasing an investment that has already gone up 300%-500% in a few years.
