Just a note to list members about silver:

The Canadian Central Fund may be a good idea for those who do not want to hold bullion themselves, but prefer to invest in the metal rather than in a mining company.

See:  http://www.centralfund.com/

Silver coins can be had for about ten dollars from:

Commodities seem sensible for many reasons, but keep in mind that new materials such as conductive plastics may change everything very suddenly.
