The dangers of investing in precious metals??

OK, butwhat does everyone think of foreign governments buying huge reserves of PM's (China, India, and Russia). India for example buying a bulk purchase recently for approx $20 billion. I totally agree PM's have no long-term future ahead whatsoever, but with all these aquisitions the Asian countries are buying to safeguard themselves against the $US dollar. DO you think there may be a short term trend in PM's in the near future?

I realise I may be fussing over minor issues and not seeing the big picture, but I just want to rule out any doubt

thanks
