It may have some fluctuations, but it will keep going up. As currency is devalued and becomes more unstable, people always turn to precious metals.
Spend some time reading blogs from people who went through the Argentina crash in the late 90s. Some really good stuff out there in terms of survival and what is really important once your currency becomes worthless overnight. You'd be surprised what becomes valuable. Besides precious metals... instant packs of coffee, bullets, medical supplies (antibiotics), food, smokes, and so on.
Nothing wrong with having food storage, weapons, and items to barter. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. If nothing ever happens, you didn't lose anything. If something bad does happen, you're somewhat prepared.
