Another reason to consider PCFG long term IMO is that the US government is driving down the value of your US dollars. PCFG stock price is going to go up simply due to inflation unless the US government changes it's policy, which they have no apparent interest in doing.
The fact that each PCFG share is backed by over $2.00 in PROVEN gold reserves at today's prices can NOT be overlooked in these economic times IMO! How much gold is your US dollar backed by? Ask yourself, in 2-3 years would you rather have 1 share of a gold mining company in full production or 1 hyperinflated United States dollar? When(not if IMO) hyperinflation hits gold will see an increase of 500-1000%. Those not prepared with at least some of their wealth in gold, gold mining stocks, or other hard assets will no longer have any wealth...
