Hey tvbcof, we're going back up.

Well hopefully people haven't been taking your advice for the past year. Unfortunately, I'm sure some did, and they have paid dearly. Shame on you.

except i haven't been saying buy for the entire year.

Oh, excuse me. I took your suggestion that everything else including fiat sucks and should be dumped to be an indication that you were implying Bitcoin was where to be (from $1000 on down to $200.) My bad.

shame on you for your buy recommendations on gold and silver. they've performed miserably since 2011 and have been flat at best for the last year.

you must be frustrated.

Not at all. I've not bought either one that I can recall since 2007-ish and have not suggested that anyone else do either. All I've said is that _I_ would and do balance between the two items (Bitcoin and PM's) and I've said the same thing for 4 years here. PM's have done exactly what I want them to do for me and a bunch more. I have no regrets about any of my decisions on how to diversify my portfolio.

I would feel worse about dumping all my PM's and going all in to Bitcoin even if I had done so. Even though it would have made me a ton of money it would have been an irresponsible gamble in my situation. I don't pat myself on the back as having some special skill if I roll snake-eyes, land on community chest, and collect a 'bank error in my favor'. That's just luck. There were a bunch of things that could easily have gone haywire with Bitcoin over the last 4 years and we got very lucky on them. The emergency hard-fork was one of these.
