If you're in it for the long haul PMs aren't really speculative, wait long enough and you can sell for a profit, maybe not after adjusting for inflation, but a $ profit. If you want a sure thing open an ins company, and deny deny deny
To control a market, or to manipulate it, since it is a Global product for wealth management in addition to manufacturing, one would have to control the non-stored supply/demand a bit. It has been done in the past both with holding physical silver and paper derivatives. But that was to push the price up and profit from it. Not to have it waver around hysterically swapping between the US market and Global market inconsistent runs. I see many market jumps due to inconsistent tweets, taxes, global demand, currency disruptions, etc. If the US gets a 20% tax on everything, including silver where the US gets most of it's silver from Mexican mines, I see Silver spiking in the US .. though globally being lower. Which would be the oddest thing ever to have 2 different spot prices.
Better that it crash then to rebuild into something tangible and move forward. The sooner the crash, the sooner the rebuild of the broken system.
Okay. Thanks for that. Everybody lives in their own little bubble and there's no law against it so. Glad it's organic!
Because you said it was ! Just that you didn't type it. But it was obvious that is what you meant to add. Therefore, it was inclusive into your statement even though you didn't type it.
