That is a major concern - the devaluation of the currency - I have been buying silver since August- unfortunatly I should have been acculutaiong a lot more at lower prices but I am hedging against the posssible devaluation of the dollar. Silver is predicted to hit 30 by January but who knows. However, your concern is real, it is my concern too - that is why I am hedging against the dollar - that plus the Fed encouraging inflation. Go CNEX GO! Stop Edwin STOP LOL :-).
