As the last crazy bull rampage all over, the precious metal become less precious than before. But do not let the mirage foul you, even the stocks runs high, but the profits and earning are heading south. China is also going to make more trouble along the way, which will drive the equity price higher... Than, same like the all time high of French Stock market at 1939, there's no after... Precious metal are the only stuff can retain value during trouble time.
