Does anyone here invest in silver or gold?

Buying gun powder and lead is not an investment, it's a politcal statement. Thanks to all the militia talk and ammo hoarding, my hunting trips this year cost about 20 bucks more than usual. Remington et all, are very appreciative of Obama's election and the resulting rush to the gun store. When the republicans get back in power, gold (and firearms) will all collapse in value. THEN it's time to buy.
